Tuna Melts


Pancake

Recommended Posts

Okay, everyone has their spin on how to make tuna fish sandwiches .. let alone tuna melts. So I'm going to go ahead and tell you how I make mine, and please feel free to leave your recipes here for yours as well. Heck, I'll try anything once...

 

Tuna Melt Sandwich(es)

 

Note: This is really only just enough for one (possibly two) sandwiches. I don't really prepare much for anyone but myself, so... adjust accordingly.

 

1 can of white albacore tuna (so much better than any kind of tuna out there)

2 Tbps of Mayonnaise (I normally use Miracle Whip Lite)

1 tps of Dill Relish (do NOT for ANY REASON WHATSOEVER use sweet relish - this is is a vital ingredient)

Some (to your own desire) chopped finely spring onions

1 tps of Dijon Mustard (any brand) - please do not use too much.

1 boiled egg (chopped)

1 dash of Paprika

 

Obviously, all you need to do with that... is mix it all up in a small bowl. Go ahead and try the tuna before adding in the sugar, just to see if you want it any sweeter. I'm a sucker for staying away from the sweet side of things.

 

Next, get your roll or bread ready. I prefer using potato bread hamburger buns - you only need one and it tastes remarkable. For cheese, I recommend a slice of Colby Jack and another slice of Munster cheese - layer properly over top the tuna that you have on your bread.

 

Toss it in the oven at 350F for about 5 minutes (please pre-heat while you're mixing, it makes things a tad faster). Take it out and .. well.. Enjoy.

 

// Notes: You can change the brand names all you want. However there are two things that cannot be changed: Solid White Albacore and the Dill Relish. Do NOT substitute sweet relish for dill relish. The dill relish is an important aspect of the recipe.

I made it today for lunch as an open face sandwich on potato bread. I made it with lite mayo, no sugar, and topped with two thin slices of muenster cheese. Excellent!!! Will absolutely make it again. :)

 

Thanks David.

Thanks for the compliment, gh. It was a recipe that a friend and I, over time, concocted. It took a while until we found that "sweet spot" - but it was well worth it. As for the question you asked me via PM on IRC: I normally use the green part of the spring onion. I'm sure it's fine to use either or, but green packs a bit more flavour.
