EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

This tuna melt is the best! When I saw the double layer of cheese, I just had to give it a try. This is unique. The layer of cheese melted over the top engulfs the tuna salad and keeps it in place. What a great dish to serve while watching a football game. You and your guests will love it. I doubled this recipe and substituted white bread. It made a total of eight sandwiches.

this was very easy to make (witch is always a plus to me). i really liked it. it was a fancy version of my normal tuna sandwitch but adding the tomato made it seem more healthy. the hard part is to get my husband to try new things and like them as well.

Delicious, quick & easy. A couple of hints: Heat the tuna mixture in the M/W on high for 45 seconds before spreading on toasted bread. The tomato slices are much easier to bite into and won't slide off if you use peeled tomatoes or cut small slits in skin of slices before putting on sandwich.
