My personalized version of the old standard tuna melt. One of my favorite lunches with a cup of nice, hot soup.

As far as tuna melts go, this one is pretty amazing. It may be a bit messy, but it's very tasty. The base of the sandwich is sweet Hawaiian bread cut into thick slices and buttered. We liked the tuna salad itself - it has many textures and flavors. When it cooks, the melted cheese holds everything in. This seems very fancy, almost restaurant quality... no one has to know how easy it is. Just make sure to have napkins handy.
