KING'S HAWAIIAN TUNA MELT SUPREME



King's Hawaiian Tuna Melt Supreme image

As far as tuna melts go, this one is pretty amazing. It may be a bit messy, but it's very tasty. The base of the sandwich is sweet Hawaiian bread cut into thick slices and buttered. We liked the tuna salad itself - it has many textures and flavors. When it cooks, the melted cheese holds everything in. This seems very fancy,...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 round loaf King's Hawaiian bread, sliced to desired thickness
8 slice deli American or cheddar cheese
1 large tomato, sliced
butter
TUNA SALAD
2 can(s) tuna, drained (6 oz each)
1 small stalk celery, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 c mayonnaise or salad dressing, your choice
1 tsp fresh lemon juice, optional
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dill weed
1/4 c finely grated carrot, optional
1 Tbsp finely chopped green pepper, optional
sometimes I add a little crushed pineapple too (a few spoonfuls) if I have any on hand. Blends beautifully with the bread. Just decrease the mayo by a few spoonfuls. If using, omit fresh lemon juice.

Steps:

  • 1. Place all of the tuna salad ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • 2. Mix and set aside. (Can be made up ahead for flavors to blend.)
  • 3. Slice round loaf of King's Hawaiian Bread to desired thickness. (Enough filling to make 2 large sandwiches or 4 small.)
  • 4. Assemble the sandwich. Layer as follows: Take one piece of bread and place a slice of cheese on top.
  • 5. Next, the sliced tomato.
  • 6. Then the tuna salad.
  • 7. Top the tuna with another slice of cheese.
  • 8. Then top with the second slice of bread. Butter both sides of bread generously.
  • 9. Place in a skillet on medium heat.
  • 10. Grill (fry) until golden brown.
  • 11. Serve with sweet potato fries or chips and pickle slices.
  • 12. (Use any leftover sliced, round sweet Hawaiian bread to make the best french toast you've ever had the next morning!)

I developed this recipe when I had a catering business. Was great for bridal and baby showers. Was also a great way to get my children to eat tunafish, especially with the apple and pineapple adding some sweetness to the tuna
