Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 can(s) tuna, albacore -- drained
4 slice bread
1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded - extra sharp (cracker barrel is an excellent brand)
1/4 c parmesan cheese, grated
1-2 small green onion, chopped
1-2 tsp lime or lemon juice
2 Tbsp pickle relish, sweet
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
3-4 Tbsp horseradish sauce
2 Tbsp onion, minced or chopped
3 - 4 Tbsp butter
1 tsp herbes de provence
1 pinch salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Mix up your tuna, pickle relish, horsey sauce, spices, onion and green onion, lime or lemon juice....taste and see if you need more salt and pepper. ---- I wanted this spicy so I added 4 tbsp of horsey at least. This is all estimate cause I made it for the first time tonight. I LOVE horseradish! It's good for you too.
  • 2. Butter your bread and then sprinkle on your Parmesan and pat it down into the butter. Assemble your sandwich with a little sharp cheddar first, then your tuna mix and then more cheddar...top with other slice of bread.
  • 3. I cooked this up in my Ninja Cooking System but it could easily be pan fried or on the griddle too. The Parmesan give this an incredible crunchy crust...so good.
  • 4. Cook 3 - 5 minutes on each side with a medium heat. If you want add a little oil to pan if you think that the butter isn't enough.
  • 5. Slice up and serve with a yummy salad or some yummy fresh veggies, salad, chips or dill pickles....just delish.

½ medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 (5-oz.) cans tuna packed in olive oil, drained
¼ cup mayonnaise, plus more for spreading
2 Tbsp. chopped celery
1 Tbsp. chopped dill pickles
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
8 slices sourdough bread
8 slices sharp cheddar

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna. Fresh tuna will give your sandwich the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tuna, you can use canned tuna that has been packed in olive oil.
  • Make sure the tuna is well-drained. This will help to prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.
  • Use a flavorful bread. A hearty bread, such as sourdough or whole wheat, will hold up well to the other ingredients in the sandwich.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. Parmesan cheese is a classic choice for a tuna melt, but you can also try cheddar, Gruyère, or mozzarella.
  • Add some spice to your sandwich. A little bit of cayenne pepper or chili powder will give your sandwich a nice kick.
  • Serve your sandwich with your favorite sides. Some popular choices include chips, salad, or soup.
