How To Make classic tuna melts, open-faced
-
1Preheat your oven to 200 C (400 F), line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toast two slices of bread, place the toast on the parchment paper.
-
2In a mixing bowl, add the Tuna Salad ingredients. -
3Mix together the salad, and at this point we have a really nice tuna salad that would make a nice cold sandwich on its own, but why stop here.
-
4Next item needed, fresh tomatoes, I used two Tor tomatoes with three thick slices each.
-
5Top the toast with equal portions of the tuna salad, then top that with 1-3 slices of tomato (depends on how big your tomato is), then top that with 1-2 slices of cheese or shredded cheese to your liking (I used a 4 blend pizza cheese).
-
6Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted, enjoy.
