TUNA MELT

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and set the rack about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source.
• Spread the bread out on a baking sheet and toast. Spread the toasted muffins or bread with the mayonnaise, if using. Top with the Tuna Salad and then the shredded cheese. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.
• In a small mixing bowl break up the tuna with a fork. Toss with the celery, onion, and parsley. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and season with pepper to taste. Stir to combine. Add lemon juice, if using.

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.

Steps:

• Set oven control to broil.
• In medium bowl, mix tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, parsley, vinegar, salt and pepper.
• Place bread slices on baking sheet. Broil with top about 4 to 6 inches from heat 1 minute or until lightly toasted.
• Turn bread over on baking sheet. Spread untoasted side of each slice of bread with about 1/3 cup of the tuna salad, 1 slice of the cheese, 2 slices tomato and 1 of the remaining slice cheese. Return sandwiches to oven; broil 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

TUNA MELT PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they've released and absorbed most of their juices, about 5 minutes.
• 2. In a large bowl, combine the tuna and mayo, breaking up the tuna. Stir in the onion-mushroom mixture, then stir in two-thirds of the cheese.
• 3. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, flour and butter; stir in the tuna mixture. Transfer to a 10" deep-dish pie pan and bake until browned, about 35 minutes. Top with remaining cheese and broil until the cheese has melted.
• *One thing I would add is a thinly sliced layer of tomatoes on top, then top that with the remaining cheddar cheese. It just doesn't seem like a tuna melt without the tomatoes!

• 2. In small bowl, break up tuna with fork, stir in celery and onion. Spread in pie plate, then sprinkle cheese on top. For variety, you can use grated swiss instead of cheddar. Or a half 'n half mixture of the two.
• 3. Mix Bisquick, milk, eggs and salt until smooth, then pour it over tuna mixture and cheese. Garnish with tomato slices. (A sprinkle of parsley flakes looks nice, too.)
• 4. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let set for five minutes before you slice and serve. .A dollop of ranch dip is good as a topper.
