Tuna Melt with Egg image

I got this recipe when I was working at a restaurant, when I was a teenager, that is no longer in business. I like the tuna salad in it because it is a little different then most. And this sandwich is just a little different then most. I serve this with small relish tray of olives, pickles or cucumbers, green onions, pickled beets, pickled okra, and sliced tomatoes. Plus a salad of some sort, like a corn salad or pasta salad.

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (5 ounce) cans water-packed tuna, drained
1 cup mayonnaise
¼ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup finely chopped green onions
¼ cup finely chopped carrots
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
8 large ripe olives, sliced
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (such as Grey Poupon®)
¼ cup butter, melted
12 slices sourdough bread, or more to taste
12 slices Swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine tuna, mayonnaise, celery, green onions, carrots, hard-boiled eggs, olives, and mustard in a bowl; mix until well combined.
  • Brush melted butter on one side of each bread slice. Top an unbuttered side with a slice of cheese, some tuna salad, another slice of cheese, and another slice of bread, buttered side facing up. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Transfer sandwiches to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until bread is toasted and cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

I used a different type of cheese than the recipe called for and it was still really good.

I added a little bit of Dijon mustard to the tuna salad and it really kicked it up a notch.

I used whole wheat bread instead of white bread and it turned out great.

I didn't have any eggs on hand, so I made the tuna melt without them. It was still delicious!
