PARMESAN CRUSTED SPICY TUNA MELT

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.

Great for the lazy days. You can adjust each ingredient to your desired consistency. I will substitute and go for the low fat or fat free stuff for the cheese and mayo.

Steps:
- Toast the bread.
- Put the cheese on one slice (you may need to microwave for a couple seconds if it doesn't melt enough).
- Mix together tuna and all other ingredients.
- Throw in between bread slices.
- Grab some chips and call it a day.
Tips:
- Choose the right tuna. Opt for canned tuna packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna packed in oil, as it contains more calories and fat.
- Use high-quality mayonnaise. Look for a mayonnaise made with healthy oils, such as avocado oil or olive oil. Avoid mayonnaise that contains unhealthy additives, such as sugar or high-fructose corn syrup.
- Add some spice. Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to taste. For a spicier melt, add an extra pinch or two. For a milder melt, use less cayenne pepper or omit it altogether.
- Use a good bread. Choose a bread that is sturdy enough to hold up to the filling, such as sourdough or whole wheat bread.
- Grill the sandwich. Grilling the sandwich will help to melt the cheese and make the bread crispy. If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the sandwich in a panini press or on a stovetop griddle.
Conclusion:
This spicy tuna melt is a quick and easy lunch or dinner option that is sure to please everyone at the table. It is packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a satisfying and delicious meal, give this spicy tuna melt a try!
