HOW TO MAKE A TUNA MELT



How to Make a Tuna Melt image

This is dedicated to all those chefs who tell you to never, ever mix fish and cheese together; and yet there they are, at the diner at 2:00 in the morning. And you know what they eat? Tuna melts. And the reason they do is because it is delicious.

Categories     Seafood     Fish     Tuna

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.
