how do you make tuna melts?

Answer 1

Here's a quick way to make them you need

1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained
1/4 cup chopped celery
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish (optional)
2 English muffins, split and toasted
4 slices tomatoes (1/4-inch thick) (optional)
4 slices American cheese or cheese, of your choice (3/4-ounce slices)


Combine the first 4 ingredients in a bowl; stir well.
Place toasted muffin halves, cut side up, on baking sheet.
Divide tuna mixture evenly among the muffin halves.
Top with tomato and cheese.
Grill 2 minutes or until cheese melts.

Answer 2

1) Toast the bagel (or English muffin, or bread) first so the tuna salad doesn't make the bread soggy.

2) A generous portion of tuna salad on top of that.

3) A slice of cheese (usually American, but your choice) on top of that.

4) Put under a broiler for about 30 seconds to melt and brown up the cheese a bit.
(*You can also put it in a microwave to melt the cheese for about 15 seconds on high if you don't want to bother with the broiler.)

Serve and enjoy! I like to make mine on an onion bagel.

Yummy!

Answer 3

Shmear toasted bread with pesto sauce, then a slice of provolone, swiss, cheddar (whatever you got), tuna (a slice of tomato, if you want); put under the broiler or bake till cheese melts.

"Tuna Melts"
Tuna is often combined with mayonnaise and celery to make a flavorful cold salad to eat as is or to spread on bread. Imaginative cooks vary the basic salad with such additions as olives, cucumber, shredded carrot, cheese, sour cream, pineapple, grapes, apples, oranges, nuts or herbs. Another way to make tuna special is to pile the filling onto sandwich buns, top with cheese and heat under the broiler.

1 (7 oz.) can tuna; drained and flaked
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup mayonnaise
4 hot dog buns; split
2 slices American cheese; halved

1) In bowl, combine tuna, celery, onion and mayonnaise. Place open hot dog buns on baking sheet; spoon tuna mixture onto buns. Top with cheese.
2) Broil 4" from heat until cheese is melted. Serve at once.

8 sliced bread or 4 English muffins; halved
