TUNA MELT



Tuna Melt image

This recipe was inspired by our customer Steven Marcyniuk who submitted the tuna melt as his favourite sandwich to make with COBS Bread. We have used our Higher Fibre Loaf but Steven has used our Sourdough Loaf which is another great option!

Yield Serves: 1

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 Slices of Higher Fibre Bread
1 tbsp Mayonnaise
1 tsp Chives, finely sliced
4 tbsp Canned Tuna (drained), roughly half a can
2-4 slices Smoked Cheese
Pinch of Ground Pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450F In a small bowl mix tuna, mayonnaise, chives and ground pepper. Lightly toast the bread slices (so there is just a little bit of colour) Top one of the toasted slice with 1-2 slices of cheese. Top with the tuna mix, spreading it out with a fork. Add the remaining cheese slices on top of the tuna mix. Place both the topped bread slice and sandwich top on a parchment lined baking tray. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and gooey. Carefully take the tuna melt out of the oven and place the plain bread slice on top to complete the sandwich. On a cutting board, cut the tuna melt gently. Note: the tuna melt will be very hot.

TUNA MELT



Tuna Melt image

Legend has it that the tuna melt was accidentally invented in the 1960s at the Woolworth's lunch counter in Charleston, S.C., when the cook didn't notice that a bowl of tuna salad had tipped over onto a grilled cheese. We may never know if this story is true, but there's no doubt that the tuna melt has become a classic American diner food. This recipe adds chopped cornichons and whole-grain mustard for a satisfying crunch and vinegary element. Extra-sharp Cheddar is a must, and as with grilled cheese, the key to achieving perfectly melted cheese and golden bread is to toast the sandwich over medium-low heat. If you prefer an open-face tuna melt, skip the top piece of bread and place the sandwich on a sheet pan under the broiler until the cheese melts.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 (6-ounce) cans solid, water-packed tuna, drained
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped cornichons or small kosher dill pickles
3 tablespoons minced red onion
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 packed tablespoon minced fresh dill (optional)
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 slices rye or sourdough bread, cut 1/2-inch thick
8 sandwich slices extra-sharp Cheddar (or 6 ounces shredded)
4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Place the tuna in a medium bowl and flake with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, cornichons, red onion, lemon juice, dill (if using), mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Depending on the size of your bread, spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup tuna salad on each of four slices of bread, heaping it in the middle slightly. Divide the cheese among the sandwiches, tearing and arranging the cheese to fit neatly. Place a piece of bread on top of each and generously spread the top piece of each sandwich with about 1/2 tablespoon butter.
  • Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-low. Place two sandwiches, buttered-side down, in the skillet, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottom pieces of bread are golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, spread the top of the each sandwich with another 1/2 tablespoon butter. Carefully flip the sandwiches, turn the heat to low, and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes, until the bottoms are browned and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining two sandwiches and serve immediately.
