TMM Kitchen: Open-Faced Tuna Melt
Looking at the sandwich back then, I knew how easy it was to make. It contained tuna spread on bread, quick-melt cheese, and a slice of tomato. I have made different versions of it before because it's really just so easy to make. If you are sick of the regular tuna sandwich, kick it up a notch by adding some cheese and leaving it open.
I am assuming that you already know how to make tuna spread, so I am going to skip the cooking instruction photos of that one. But I'll post the ingredients of my tuna spread here so that you can compare.
TUNA SPREAD INGREDIENTS
- 2 cans of Century Tuna Flakes in Vegetable Oil (drained)
- 1 small onion diced (you can use either red or white)
- 1 tsp pickle relish
- 2 Tbsps Real Mayonnaise (I prefer Lady's Choice)
- Tiny Pinch of white sugar
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Optional: Capers! I love capers so I put about 1 Tbsp in there.
TO MAKE: Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix together. If you prefer more mayonnaise, just add until you find the right mixture for you.
OPEN-FACED TUNA MELT INGREDIENTS
- 4 slices of white bread
- 2 native tomatoes (or 1 salad tomato)
- 4 slices Eden Cheddar Cheese
- Tuna Spread
ASSEMBLY:
1. On a piece of white bread, scoop and spread tuna spread on top. Repeat on other slices.
2. Top the tuna with slices of cheese. I usually just add 2 slices per open-face, but you can add more if you want. Top each cheese with a slice of tomato, or one gigantic slice in the center.
4. You can either use an oven toaster or an air fryer. I prefer the latter. Do not burn the bread. don't set your temperature too high.
OR
5. Watch out that your bread does not burn. You want the bread toasted and the cheese melted, and your're done!
I love drizzling hot sauce over it! ENJOY!
Have you tried an open-faced tuna melt before? I'd love to know how you made it or where you've tried it!
