Remember when I shared that open-faced tuna melt a few weeks ago and also shared about my fear of canned tuna most of my life? I had the most delicious tuna melt and my mind was forever changed. This is my attempt at recreating that sandwich.
My best friends always used to order tuna melts at this sandwich shop we would sometimes go to in Chicago. I don’t know why this memory stands out to me so much; maybe it’s because of their obsession with it or my disgusted reaction every time they got it (canned fish?! cheese and fish combined?!) but I think of them every time I see a tuna melt. Sorry to my girls, it may be a weird thing to be associated with.
Creamy tuna salad spiked with sharp capers, lemon, shallots and Dijon mustard cut through the richness of the buttery toasted bread and melty cheddar. Some tomato slices thrown in make you feel a little healthy.
