Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (6.5 ounce) jar oil-packed tuna, drained
1 tablespoon minced green onion
2 tablespoons finely diced celery
2 teaspoons capers, drained
1 teaspoon Asian chile paste (such as sambal oelek)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or more to taste
⅓ cup fresh mozzarella cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons softened butter, divided
2 thick slices French bread
¼ cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese, divided
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

Place tuna into a mixing bowl and lightly break apart with a fork. Add green onion, celery, capers, chile paste, and mayonnaise. Pinch small pieces from mozzarella cheese into the tuna salad and stir to mix. Season with salt and black pepper; refrigerate tuna salad until needed.
Heat oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Spread butter generously on both sides of French bread slices.
Broil buttered bread until golden brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip bread slices and broil other side until toasted, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from oven and turn bread slices over on the baking sheet so the darkest sides are on the bottom.
Gently spread tuna salad onto bread slices using 2 forks. Press the salad onto the bread and spread tuna all the way to the edges of the bread. Spread shredded sharp Cheddar over each sandwich. Dust tops with cayenne pepper.
Place sandwiches under broiler and cook until cheese is melted and bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes.

BEST TUNA MELT (NEW JERSEY DINER STYLE)

Best Tuna Melt (New Jersey Diner Style) image

If you order a tuna melt in a New Jersey diner, you'll get something very similar to this! My method of topping the tuna salad with cheese FIRST, then tomato and more cheese, keeps the toppings from sliding off the bread.

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,...

Ingredients

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

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!)
