Emeril's Kicked-Up Tuna Melt image

Looking for an interesting tuna melt, I wandered into the Food Network where I found this little gem of Emeril's which I slightly adapted to suit my 'buds. Even my tuna-averse husband loved them! I omit the tomatoes for personal preference, but have left them in the recipe. Please note that while I'm leaving the recipe yield and ingredient quantities the same as the original, I actually got twice as many open-faced sandwiches!

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna packed in water, drained
1/3 cup kalamata olive, pitted and minced (You can use other brine-cured black olives)
1/4 cup mayonnaise, plus
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, plus more
mayonnaise, for spreading
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
1 tablespoon capers, drained and minced
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 slices rustic white bread or 4 slices other dense white bread
8 slices tomatoes
4 ounces emmenthaler cheese, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler.
  • Combine the tuna, olives, mayonnaise, red onion, capers, black pepper, lemon juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir until well mixed.
  • Arrange the bread slices on a work surface. Lightly spread each slice of bread with additional mayonnaise and top with 2 tomato slices each. Divide the tuna salad evenly among the 4 bread slices over the tomatoes. Top the tuna salad with slices of cheese.
  • Place sandwiches on a sheet tray and place under broiler. Cook until cheese is golden and bubbly, about 3-4 minutes.

This was a great recipe for a tuna melt. The bread was crispy and the cheese was melted and gooey. The tuna salad was also very flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I've made this tuna melt several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of tuna, cheese, and bread crumbs is irresistible.

This tuna melt was a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the crunch from the bread crumbs added a nice texture.
