Cheesy Tuna Melt
 
Get started!

Ingredients

2 (5-ounce) cans tuna, drained well

1/4 cup finely chopped celery

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon pickle relish

1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt

Pepper, to taste

1/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt

8 slices sourdough bread

1 (8-ounce) package (2 cups) Land O Lakes® Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese Chunk, shredded

 

How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Combine fully drained tuna, celery, red onion, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, relish, garlic salt and pepper in medium bowl. Mix until combined.

  2. STEP 2

    Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt on one side of each of 8 slices bread. Heat large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 4 slices bread, buttered-side down, working in batches if necessary. Top each with 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Cook, covering with lid if needed, 3 minutes or until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Remove; set aside.

  3. STEP 3

    Repeat with remaining bread and cheese. While second set of bread is cooking, divide tuna mixture equally (about 1/3 cup each) among 4 grilled bread slices. Top with remaining grilled bread to make sandwiches.

Tip #1

If you prefer an open-faced sandwich, prepare 4 slices of bread as described. Place onto baking sheet and top with tuna and remaining shredded Cheddar. Broil 3-4 minutes or until cheese has melted. Enjoy!

Tip #2

Add thinly sliced tomato and pickled red onion to your tuna melts for added flavor and texture!
