No May Avocado Tuna Melt
Report
This tuna melt replaces mayonnaise with avocado to create a creamy tuna mixture seasoned simply with salt and pepper. Layered with havarti cheese, tomato slices, and red leaf lettuce on whole wheat bread, then pan-toasted with butter, the sandwich offers melted cheese and a lightly crisp exterior with fresh fillings inside.
Description
The recipe mixes canned albacore tuna with sliced avocado, salt, and pepper for a creamy yet mayonnaise-free filling. Sandwiches are assembled with cheese slices, tuna-avocado mix, tomato, and lettuce between whole wheat or grain bread slices. Butter spread on the outside allows for pan-toasting over medium heat until the bread is golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.
The sandwich is briefly rested before slicing for easier handling. This combination results in a warm, rich sandwich featuring the creaminess of avocado and melty cheese balanced by fresh tomato and crisp lettuce. The recipe yields 2 sandwiches and can be doubled as needed.
