OPEN-FACED TUNA MELT SANDWICH

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.

OPEN FACE TUNA MELT SANDWICH



Open Face Tuna Melt Sandwich image

These have become a quick dinner staple. They are sooo good, and comes together in minutes. You can change the type of cheese, but I've found that something with a stronger flavor that melts well, is best. The type of bread I use is called Saloio and is similar to Ciabbata (Saloio is a portuguese bread readily available at our supermarket bakery).

ULTIMATE TUNA MELTS

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (6 to 8-ounce) jars imported tuna packed in olive oil, drained
1/2 cup (1/4-inch) diced hearts of celery
1/2 cup minced scallions, white and light green parts (3 scallions)
3 tablespoons minced fresh dill
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
4 large slices bread, such as Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Hearty White
4 ounces Swiss cheese, such as Emmentaler, grated
1 ounce microgreens

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:

  • Use a high-quality tuna for the best flavor. Look for tuna that is packed in olive oil or water, and avoid tuna that is packed in brine.
  • If you don't have any mayonnaise on hand, you can substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of cheddar, Swiss, and mozzarella.
  • If you don't have any bread crumbs, you can use crushed crackers or tortilla chips.
  • Serve the open-faced tuna melt sandwiches immediately, or they will get soggy.

Conclusion:

Open-faced tuna melt sandwiches are a quick and easy meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover tuna. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
