Tuna cheese melt?

Question

How do I make a simple, delicious tuna cheese melt? I only allow myself tuna every three weeks cause of its mercury lvls so I need a really good recipe!

Answer 1

If simple is what you're looking for, season your drained tuna to your liking, spread it over an English muffin half (or toast), layer with your favorite cheese - microwave 30 sec.

Preheat oven to 350F; have ready an ungreased baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine tuna, onion, pepper, mayo and worcestershire; taste and add salt and/or pepper if you wish.
In the toaster, toast bagel halves; place all 4 on baking sheet.
On a bagel half, place one slice tomato, then one-quarter of tuna mixture, then 1 slice cheese; repeat with other bagel halves.
Bake for 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.
If you wish, quickly broil to brown melted cheese.
Note: if you like tuna melts real cheesy, use one slice of swiss AND one slice of mozzarella!

Answer 3

2 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna packed in water, well drained
1/4 cup mayonnaise (can use more)
1-2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (or use 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar)
1 large celery rib, finely chopped
2 green onions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
seasoning salt
lemon pepper or black pepper
4 slices pumpernickel bread or rye bread, large slices
4 slices tomatoes
8 slices swiss cheese or mozzarella cheese

In a bowl mix tuna, mayo, lemon juice (or red wine vinegar) celery, green onions and parsley; mix well.
Add in seasoned salt and lemon pepper to taste.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and broil for 1 minute or until lightly toasted.
Remove from heat, divide and spread the tuna mixture on top of each bread slice.
Place one cheese slice over the tuna, then one tomato slice (you can use 2 tomato slices if your wish) then another slice of cheese on top.
Return the layered bread to oven and broil for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Answer 4

Depending on how much you like to mess around in the kitchen, a basic recipe is a can of good quality tuna, water or oil pack, drained. Add mayo to desired consistency. Additions-chopped celery, chopped boiled egg, relish-

If you like to make your own, there are many good homemade mayo recipes, and tuna works well with a mayo with some lemon and spicy hints-Also there are flavored tunas available in vacuum sealed aluminum packets, I like the lemon pepper for tuna salad. The primary concern is a good mild fresh tasting tuna. For your bread, since it's a special occasion, splurge on a nice crusty deli bread, your favorite sliced medium or sharp cheddar and I like to use butter on the slices of bread for frying.
