Tuna And Cheddar Toasts Food

TUNA CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. On five slices of bread, layer 1/2 cup lettuce and about 1/4 cup tuna mixture; top with remaining bread.

TUNA MELT

Steps:

• Place the tuna in a medium bowl and flake with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, cornichons, red onion, lemon juice, dill (if using), mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Depending on the size of your bread, spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup tuna salad on each of four slices of bread, heaping it in the middle slightly. Divide the cheese among the sandwiches, tearing and arranging the cheese to fit neatly. Place a piece of bread on top of each and generously spread the top piece of each sandwich with about 1/2 tablespoon butter.
• Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-low. Place two sandwiches, buttered-side down, in the skillet, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottom pieces of bread are golden brown.
• Meanwhile, spread the top of the each sandwich with another 1/2 tablespoon butter. Carefully flip the sandwiches, turn the heat to low, and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes, until the bottoms are browned and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining two sandwiches and serve immediately.

TUNA AND CHEDDAR TOASTS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler/grill to highest setting.
• Drain tuna, mix it with mayo and scallion in a bowl; season with salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper.
• Toast bread slices under the grill until they're nicely browned on both sides, then spread the tuna mixture on top of each toast.
• Sprinkle with grated cheddar on each toast and put back under the grill until cheese has melted.
• Slice each toast diagonally into triangles, sprinkle with paprika and enjoy!

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.

CHEESY TUNA MELTS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill on its highest setting. Drain the tuna, flake it into a bowl and mix with the spring onions and mayonnaise. Season with salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
• Toast the bread under the grill until it's nicely browned on both sides, then spread the tuna mixture on top, right up to the edges of the toast. Scatter over the cheese and put back under the grill until the cheese is bubbling.
• Slice in half, sprinkle with paprika and tuck in.

10-MINUTE TUNA-BEAN TOASTS

Steps:

• Toast as many slices of French bread as you need. Meanwhile, lightly mash the beans. Pour 2 tbsp of tuna oil over the beans, then flake in the tuna. Gently mix in the parsley, and season to taste.
• When the toast is ready, drizzle it with a bit of the tuna oil. Top the toast with a slice of tomato and top the tomato with a spoonful of bean mix. Scatter over the sliced onion. (Any extra bean mix will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days.) Drizzle the toasts with a little more oil (use olive oil if you run out of tuna oil) and serve.

• Add pasta noodles and cook until tender; do not drain.
• Stir in cream of mushroom soup, milk, salsa and tuna.
