KING'S HAWAIIAN TUNA MELT SUPREME
As far as tuna melts go, this one is pretty amazing. It may be a bit messy, but it's very tasty. The base of the sandwich is sweet Hawaiian bread cut into thick slices and buttered. We liked the tuna salad itself - it has many textures and flavors. When it cooks, the melted cheese holds everything in. This seems very fancy,...

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.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality tuna for the best flavor. Solid white albacore tuna is a good option.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and are less watery.
- If you don't have time to make your own tuna salad, you can use canned tuna. Be sure to drain it well and flake it before using.
- Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings. A sourdough or French bread is a good choice.
- Butter the bread before grilling to help it brown and crisp.
- Add a slice of cheese to the sandwich for extra flavor. Cheddar, Swiss, or provolone are all good choices.
- Serve the sandwich with a side of chips, salad, or fruit.
