Tuna And Cheddar Toasts Recipes

OPEN-FACED TUNA MELTS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and place the rack about 6" from the roof of the oven.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, shallot, celery, mayo, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and parsley. Stir until fully mixed. Taste for seasoning. It may need a touch more lemon juice to brighten it up, or a pinch more salt.
• Toast the bread. Optional: Lightly butter the toast on both sides, if you feel like gilding the lily.
• Place the toast on a baking sheet. Divide the tuna salad between the two pieces of toast. You may not use all of the tuna, depending on how high you want your melt to be.
• Place slices of cheese on top of the tuna. Broil for about 30 seconds (but this may vary--keep a close eye!), until the cheese melts over the tuna.
• Slice the melts in half on the diagonal and serve immediately, perhaps with a little salad, potato chips, or dill pickles.
