OPEN-FACED TUNA MELT SANDWICH
To take a tuna melt from good to great, it has to have all the right components. In other words, plain mayo alone won't cut it. Here's how we do it: open-faced with crusty toasted bread, melty cheese, capers, cornichons, Dijon mustard, and plenty of seasoning. On a chilly fall day, nothing tastes better.

OPEN-FACED TUNA MELTS
Steps:
- Preheat the broiler and place the rack about 6" from the roof of the oven.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, shallot, celery, mayo, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and parsley. Stir until fully mixed. Taste for seasoning. It may need a touch more lemon juice to brighten it up, or a pinch more salt.
- Toast the bread. Optional: Lightly butter the toast on both sides, if you feel like gilding the lily.
- Place the toast on a baking sheet. Divide the tuna salad between the two pieces of toast. You may not use all of the tuna, depending on how high you want your melt to be.
- Place slices of cheese on top of the tuna. Broil for about 30 seconds (but this may vary--keep a close eye!), until the cheese melts over the tuna.
- Slice the melts in half on the diagonal and serve immediately, perhaps with a little salad, potato chips, or dill pickles.

OPEN FACE TUNA MELT SANDWICH
These have become a quick dinner staple. They are sooo good, and comes together in minutes. You can change the type of cheese, but I've found that something with a stronger flavor that melts well, is best. The type of bread I use is called Saloio and is similar to Ciabbata (Saloio is a portuguese bread readily available at our supermarket bakery).
