Parmesan Crusted Spicy Tuna Melt image

A new twist on a traditional tuna melt that had my taste-buds talking to me. I wanted it spicy and so I wasn't sure if the horseradish would work but it was a success...such a nice spicy/peppery flavor added to my tuna melt. I love, love, love horseradish and the hotter the better. It's for sure to open up your breathing and...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 can(s) tuna, albacore -- drained
4 slice bread
1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded - extra sharp (cracker barrel is an excellent brand)
1/4 c parmesan cheese, grated
1-2 small green onion, chopped
1-2 tsp lime or lemon juice
2 Tbsp pickle relish, sweet
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
3-4 Tbsp horseradish sauce
2 Tbsp onion, minced or chopped
3 - 4 Tbsp butter
1 tsp herbes de provence
1 pinch salt and pepper

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.
