ULTIMATE TUNA MELTS
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, flake the tuna finely with a fork. Add the celery, scallions, and dill, and continue mixing and fluffing with the fork until combined. Add the lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Combine the mayonnaise and anchovy paste, if using, and mix into the tuna.
- Preheat the broiler. Toast the bread in a toaster and place the slices in a single layer on a sheet pan. Spread a quarter of the tuna mixture thickly and evenly on each piece of bread, covering the entire slice. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on the 4 sandwiches, covering the tuna completely. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and starts to brown. (Watch it carefully!) Sprinkle with the microgreens and serve hot.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
- Place the bacon in a cold medium skillet over a burner, then turn the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the mayo on both sides of all the bread slices. Season with a pinch of salt. Place the sliced bread on a sheet tray and bake for 3 minutes. Flip the bread. Bake until light golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep the oven on.
- Mix the remaining 1/2 cup mayo with the Dijon mustard, dill, tuna, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of pepper in a medium bowl with a fork until creamy. Add the apple and bacon bits and stir until well combined.
- To assemble the sandwiches, keep 4 of the toasted bread slices on the sheet tray. Divide the tuna salad among them and spread into an even layer. Top each with 1 of the lettuce pieces, 2 of the tomato slices and 1 slice of the provolone. Bake until the cheese has melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Top each tuna melt with 1 of the remaining toasted bread slices and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Start with fresh, ripe tomatoes and flavorful tuna. Look for tuna packed in olive oil or water for a healthier option.
- Season the tuna salad well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper to the tuna salad. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or dill.
- Use a good quality bread: The bread should be sturdy enough to hold up to the tuna salad and cheese, but not so thick that it overpowers the other ingredients.
- Grill or pan-fry the bread: Grilling or pan-frying the bread will give it a nice crispy texture. You can also toast the bread in a toaster oven if you're short on time.
- Add plenty of cheese: Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
- Broil the sandwiches until the cheese is melted and bubbly: Keep an eye on the sandwiches so that they don't burn.
Conclusion:
BLT tuna melts are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover tuna salad. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
