Tuna Melt for Dinner

Time for dinner on this warm Saturday evening. Found another light sandwich to go with. A tuna melt. So good. So easy. What more can I say. If you like tuna salad sandwiches, and grilled cheese, you will like a tuna melt. For those not familiar with this sandwich, here it what you do. Mix up a batch of tuna salad, with whatever ingredients you like. Spread the tuna salad on buttered bread, adding cheese, whatever type you like again, and you fry it like a grilled cheese. That is all there is to it. I love these sandwiches. Tuna is another summer favorite. And cheese just takes it up a notch for me.

I do not think I have ever had this. I've heard of it, of course, but never had it. I was always a fan of just a bit of mayo and pepper with my tuna. No tuna salad, just the tuna itself.

@CarolDM Never tried that but I bet it would be delicious. Just the right amount of tang.

@CarolDM I like to make it with chopped ham, I think I never mixed fish with cheese.

It is good to me, grilled and a great combination. A preference I suppose.

I bet it would taste good with a slice of tomato on it.

Tuna Melts are awesome - by the way they are really good in an air fryer (just saying)!!!!

@DocAndersen Indeed I do. Some will have a pickle on the side. I like to add it in the tuna salad.

@CarolDM I am sure that I would like it. I like to to tuna mac which is just a can of tuna stirred into mac and cheese. That is another fast meal.

My daughter makes these open faced on English muffins. She has a family of six so she bakes whole cookie sheets of them in the oven at once.
