Report
This satisfying and easy to make hot sandwich includes flavorful sourdough bread (or other of choice), a creamy and herby tuna salad, rich cheddar and fresh tomato slices. It's the ultimate upgrade to a traditional tuna sandwich!

Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz) can solid white tuna (the big can), well drained
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped baby dill pickles
- 2 Tbsp minced parsley
- 1 Tbsp minced Dill
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- salt and black pepper
- 6 hearty bread slices, such as sourdough or whole wheat bread
- 1 large tomato sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, or 6 slices cheddar
- 3 Tbsp softened butter
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl toss together drained tuna, mayonnaise, red onion, pickles, parsley, dill and lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread 1/2 Tbsp of butter on just one side of each slice of bread.
- Lay 3 slices of bread buttered side down. Top the bread with an even layer of tuna salad, then tomato slices and cheese (dividing evenly among the three slices).
- Top with remaining 3 bread slices buttered side up.
- Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Cook sandwiches about 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown on bottom, then turn (careful not to let cheese fall out). Cook on opposite until golden brown on bottom and cheese has melted, about 2 to 3 minutes longer.
- Slice each tuna melt in half and serve.
Notes
- If you use standard size slices of bread you can get 4 sandwiches out of the recipe. Bread used here was wider slices.
