Open-Faced Tuna Melt Sandwich image

To take a tuna melt from good to great, it has to have all the right components. In other words, plain mayo alone won't cut it. Here's how we do it: open-faced with crusty toasted bread, melty cheese, capers, cornichons, Dijon mustard, and plenty of seasoning. On a chilly fall day, nothing tastes better.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil and is labeled "dolphin-safe."
  • If you don't have canned tuna, you can use cooked and flaked fresh or frozen tuna.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. A sharp cheddar will give the sandwich a more pronounced flavor.
  • If you don't have a panini press, you can grill the sandwiches in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to weigh the sandwiches down with a heavy object, such as a cast iron skillet, so that they cook evenly.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately with your favorite sides, such as chips, soup, or salad.

Conclusion:

Hot tuna cheddar melt sandwiches are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. They are also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying sandwich that the whole family will love.
