Best Tuna Melt

Sara Goldstein Sara Goldstein
4.5 (2 reviews)

A sandwich is always a good idea, especially when you fill it with an incredible tuna salad and melted cheddar. I love using thick slices of sourdough for that buttery, crunchy bite. If you’ve got picky eaters, pare down this idea to a simple tuna toast or grilled cheese.

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, chopped pickles, onions, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. Place a sheet of Gefen Parchment Paper on your work surface. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread, placing two on the parchment with the butter facing up and two with the butter facing down.

  3. Top the two face-down slices with a slice of cheese, tuna salad, a few tomato slices, and a second slice of cheese. Cover with the face-up slices.

  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches for two to three minutes, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is starting to melt. Carefully flip and cook on the second side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

  5. If you like, serve with potato chips and pickles.
