The tuna melts were okay, but I've definitely had better. I wouldn't make them again.

The tuna melts were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll drain the tuna better next time.

I served the tuna melts with a side of lemon wedges and dill sprigs. It was a delightful presentation.

Not a fan of dill, so I used parsley instead. Still turned out great!

I added a bit of chopped red onion to the tuna salad for an extra layer of flavor. It was delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly and the result was amazing! The tuna melts were perfectly golden brown and cheesy.

Lemon dill tuna melts were a huge hit! The tangy lemon and fresh dill paired perfectly with the tuna and melted cheese.
