The Tuna Melt Of My Dreams

I live for this sharp cheddar tuna melt. It's so flavorful and crunchy, with a pickle-y tuna salad, melty cheddar and greens. Best lunch ever!

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces tuna packed in water, drained
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet relish
  • 1 tablespoons dill relish
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon
  • ¼ teaspoon dried dill

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a bowl, combine the tuna with the mayo, relish, dijon, dill and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until combined. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  2. To make the tuna melts, spread the outsides of the bread with softened butter. Place the cheddar slices on the insides of the bread, top with a few spoonfuls of the tuna mixture, then top with pickled onions and greens.
  3. Cook in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until the bread is golden and toasty and the cheese is melted. Serve!
