SAVORY HERBED TUNA MELT



Savory Herbed Tuna Melt image

This recipe is another one of my family's favorite sandwiches. Use your favorite cheese to make it perfect for you. You can either mix shredded cheese in with the tuna before you cook, lay sliced on top of the tuna before grilling on both sides, or toast the bread, then broil a piece of cheese on top for an open-faced sandwich. I found my favorite way to cook it is to use pumpernickel bread and grill it like grilled cheese. Once we burned our sandwiches by mistake, and we found that it made them taste that much better. Now we always burn them a little. Yum!

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 (5-oz.) cans tuna packed in olive oil, drained
¼ cup mayonnaise, plus more for spreading
2 Tbsp. chopped celery
1 Tbsp. chopped dill pickles
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
8 slices sourdough bread
8 slices sharp cheddar
Dill pickle spears (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Combine ½ medium onion, thinly sliced, and 1 cup seasoned rice vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Gently mix two 5-oz. cans tuna packed in olive oil, drained, ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 Tbsp. chopped celery, and 1 Tbsp. chopped pickles in a medium bowl until just combined. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Heat a dry large cast-iron skillet over medium-low. Spread mayonnaise over 1 side of 2 slices sourdough bread. Place bread, mayo side down, in skillet; top 1 bread slice with 2 slices sharp cheddar. Cover with a lid and cook until bread is golden brown underneath and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes.

Transfer to a cutting board and slice in half on a diagonal. Repeat cooking process 3 more times with more mayonnaise and remaining tuna salad, pickled onion, 6 slices sourdough bread, and 6 slices sharp cheddar to make 3 more sandwiches.
