Tuscan Tuna Melt
Report
These tuscan tuna melts are a modern way to enjoy a tuna sandwich, with peppery arugula, melty cheese, pickled onions and sun dried tomato spread!
Share:
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Albacore Tuna packed in water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, oregano, basil, parsley, thyme
- pinch of salt
- pinch of freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 6 ounce jar sun dried tomatoes
- 4 lices manchego cheese
- 2 cups arugula greens
- quick pickled onions, for serving
- 4 lices of your favorite bread
- softened butter, for spreading
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the tuna with the olive oil, fresh herbs, salt and pepper. Stir until combined. You can also just buy the tuna packed in olive oil, but I like having a little more control over the oil situation!
- To make the sun dried tomato spread, drain the tomatoes from the olive oil in the jar. Add the tomatoes to a food processor and blend until pureed.
- To make the sandwiches, spread a tablespoon of the tomatoes on one (or both!) sides of the bread. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spread the outsides of the bread with softened butter. Assemble the rest of the sandwich by adding 1 or 2 slices of cheese, a scoop of the tuna, a few pickled onions and a handful of arugula on one slice. Cover it with the other slice of bread.
- Cook the sandwich in the skillet until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown. Serve immediately!
