HOW TO MAKE A TUNA MELT
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.

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.

TUNA MELT WITH EGG
I got this recipe when I was working at a restaurant, when I was a teenager, that is no longer in business. I like the tuna salad in it because it is a little different then most. And this sandwich is just a little different then most. I serve this with small relish tray of olives, pickles or cucumbers, green onions, pickled beets, pickled okra, and sliced tomatoes. Plus a salad of some sort, like a corn salad or pasta salad.

ULTIMATE TUNA MELTS
Steps:
- In a medium bowl, flake the tuna finely with a fork. Add the celery, scallions, and dill, and continue mixing and fluffing with the fork until combined. Add the lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Combine the mayonnaise and anchovy paste, if using, and mix into the tuna.
- Preheat the broiler. Toast the bread in a toaster and place the slices in a single layer on a sheet pan. Spread a quarter of the tuna mixture thickly and evenly on each piece of bread, covering the entire slice. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on the 4 sandwiches, covering the tuna completely. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and starts to brown. (Watch it carefully!) Sprinkle with the microgreens and serve hot.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, celery, pickle relish, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- On a cutting board, butter one side of each slice of bread. Flip the bread over so it is buttered-side down. Divide the tuna mixture between 2 slices of bread. Top with the cheddar cheese, then place the other slices of bread on top, buttered-side out.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook, without moving, for about 2 minutes, until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwiches over and continue to cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted, 2 minutes more.
- Transfer the tuna melts to a cutting board and cut in half. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

TASTY TUNA MELT, NO MAYO
This tuna melt tastes incredibly rich and uses no mayo. It's a versatile recipe too. You can change the type of bread or cheese, spice it up or down, or even switch it to salmon instead of tuna, and it always comes out great. The lime juice "pre cooks" the tuna and makes it seem creamier, so you don't need any mayonnaise. It makes 4 sandwiches if your bread slices are small, but only 2 or 3 larger sandwiches if you use big slices of bread.

Steps:
- Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster.
- Combine the onions, parsley, and tuna in mixing bowl. You can add hot sauce or other spices if you want to jazz it up.
- Add the lime juice to the bowl and mix it all up with a fork. You can substitute lemon juice for lime juice if needed.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet. Cover each slice with the tuna mixture.
- Cut the cheese into slices and then cover each sandwich with a thin layer of cheese.
- Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling a bit.
- (Optional) You can also add a fresh slice of tomato or avocado to each sandwich and then broil for 1 or 2 more minutes. (If you broil much longer than that the tomato or avocado can get mushy).
- (Optional) If you like a firmer sandwich, melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet and then transfer the cooked sandwiches to the skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the bottom of the bread is buttery and firm.
- Serve them while they're hot.

TUNA MELT
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.

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.

The salad should hold its shape on a spoon. (You can make the tuna salad up to three days ahead. Store covered and refrigerated. Drain off any accumulated liquid and stir well before using.)
- Cover one side of each bread slice with butter or mayonnaise, spreading it all the way to the edges. Turn the slices over and cover with cheese, either sprinkling it or tearing the pieces to fit. Top with tuna salad.
- Close the sandwiches and cook on a griddle or in a large skillet over medium-high heat until deep golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side, pressing lightly with the spatula. Serve immediately.
