Apple Cheddar And Tuna Melt Recipes

APPLE TUNA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients; stir in tuna and apple. Spread 1/2 cup tuna mixture on three slices of bread. Top with lettuce and remaining bread.

HOW TO MAKE A TUNA MELT

Steps:

• Place tuna into a mixing bowl and lightly break apart with a fork. Add green onion, celery, capers, chile paste, and mayonnaise. Pinch small pieces from mozzarella cheese into the tuna salad and stir to mix. Season with salt and black pepper; refrigerate tuna salad until needed.
• Heat oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spread butter generously on both sides of French bread slices.
• Broil buttered bread until golden brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip bread slices and broil other side until toasted, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from oven and turn bread slices over on the baking sheet so the darkest sides are on the bottom.
• Gently spread tuna salad onto bread slices using 2 forks. Press the salad onto the bread and spread tuna all the way to the edges of the bread. Spread shredded sharp Cheddar over each sandwich. Dust tops with cayenne pepper.
• Place sandwiches under broiler and cook until cheese is melted and bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes.

APPLE, CHEDDAR AND TUNA MELT

Steps:

• Drain tuna and place in a medium-size bowl. Add mayonaise, lemon juice, celery and red onion.
• Peel the Granny Smith apple, core and dice. Add to the tuna mixture.
• Add freshly ground pepper to taste and gently combine mixture well.
• Slice six slices from the bread loaf, about 1/2-inch thick. Cover the slices with the tuna mixture and top with the grated cheese.
• Place slices on a cookie sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes. The cheese should be bubbly and the tuna mixture warmed through.
• Serve immediately.
