TUNA MELT



Tuna Melt image

Legend has it that the tuna melt was accidentally invented in the 1960s at the Woolworth's lunch counter in Charleston, S.C., when the cook didn't notice that a bowl of tuna salad had tipped over onto a grilled cheese. We may never know if this story is true, but there's no doubt that the tuna melt has become a classic American diner food. This recipe adds chopped cornichons and whole-grain mustard for a satisfying crunch and vinegary element. Extra-sharp Cheddar is a must, and as with grilled cheese, the key to achieving perfectly melted cheese and golden bread is to toast the sandwich over medium-low heat. If you prefer an open-face tuna melt, skip the top piece of bread and place the sandwich on a sheet pan under the broiler until the cheese melts.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 (6-ounce) cans solid, water-packed tuna, drained
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup finely chopped cornichons or small kosher dill pickles
3 tablespoons minced red onion
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 packed tablespoon minced fresh dill (optional)
2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 slices rye or sourdough bread, cut 1/2-inch thick
8 sandwich slices extra-sharp Cheddar (or 6 ounces shredded)
4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, plus more as needed

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.

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.

TUNA SANDWICH

Provided by Shana Shameer

Categories     Appetizers - Starters     Breads-Breakfast-Brunch     Fish & Seafood     Salads     Snacks and Savories     Wraps & Sandwiches

Time 11m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cans (150 gms, each) Tuna - use Flakes in water
3-4 Tbsp Good quality - Mayonnaise (see notes)
1/2 tsp Mild mustard (I use Mild American Mustard)
1 Shallot, minced finely
2 tsp Dill (dill weed) , freshly chopped
1/4 tsp Black pepper powder / course grain
1/8 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Paprika ( use regular paprika - not the smoked or hot variety)
As needed Shredded Iceberg Lettuce
As needed Preferred sandwich bread (I use large white slices of speciality sandwich bread

Steps:

  • Drain water from the canned tuna and add to a bowl.
  • Add 3-4 Tbsp Mayonnaise. You can add more or less according to preference. (See notes)
  • Stir the tuna well, so that it becomes easily spreadable.
  • Add the mustard and minced shallots.
  • Use a fork to mix and stir the tuna to get it more smooth and spreadable. I like it only slightly chunky. If you want it extremely smooth, mix further.
  • Once the texture is to your liking, add in the freshly chopped dill, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir till thoroughly incorporated.
  • Chill the tuna spread for at least 30 minutes in the fridge for best results. The filling tastes better chilled.
  • To assemble: Shred the lettuce (rinsed and dried using a salad spinner or on kitchen paper).
  • For each sandwich, apply a thin layer of Mayo on both slices of Un-toasted bread. Spread a generous layer of chilled tuna filling on one slice and top with plenty of shredded lettuce. Place the second slice over the lettuce and use a baking scraper to press it down, to prevent finger impressions.
  • Cut the sandwich and serve while it is still chilled.
  • if you want to store them wrap in sandwich paper or saran wrap and refrigerate till ready to use.
