Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, flake the tuna finely with a fork. Add the celery, scallions, and dill, and continue mixing and fluffing with the fork until combined. Add the lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Combine the mayonnaise and anchovy paste, if using, and mix into the tuna.
  • Preheat the broiler. Toast the bread in a toaster and place the slices in a single layer on a sheet pan. Spread a quarter of the tuna mixture thickly and evenly on each piece of bread, covering the entire slice. Sprinkle the cheese evenly on the 4 sandwiches, covering the tuna completely. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and starts to brown. (Watch it carefully!) Sprinkle with the microgreens and serve hot.

2 (6 to 8-ounce) jars imported tuna packed in olive oil, drained
1/2 cup (1/4-inch) diced hearts of celery
1/2 cup minced scallions, white and light green parts (3 scallions)
3 tablespoons minced fresh dill
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
4 large slices bread, such as Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Hearty White
4 ounces Swiss cheese, such as Emmentaler, grated
1 ounce microgreens

BUNSTEADS, A.K.A. HOT TUNA MELTS

Bunsteads, a.k.a. Hot Tuna Melts image

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 250° while mixing the filling.
  • 2. Combine all ingreds [except hot dog buns!] in a bowl. Mix lightly.
  • 3. Split buns, and fill them with the tuna mixture.
  • 4. If you buy your hot dog buns in a box, return the filled buns to the box in which they came. OR, wrap each filled bun in aluminum foil. Wrap kind of loosely, so the filling doesn't stick to the foil. You can wrap them all in one huge piece of foil, if that's the way you prefer to do it.
  • 5. Place boxed or foil-wrapped buns in the oven at 250°. Cook for about 30 minutes, until filling is hot, and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Serve right away, while hot.

1/4 lb velveeta cheese, cut into tiny cubes
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
5 1/2 oz can of tuna
2 Tbsp chopped bell pepper
2 Tbsp chopped green olives
2 Tbsp chopped bread and butter pickle
2 Tbsp finely diced onion
1/2 c mayonnaise
6 hot dog buns, white or wheat

TUNA BUMSTEAD (SANDWICH)

This is the 'famous' toasted tuna sandwich that was served in my Catholic school cafeteria. Who knows why they called them tuna bumsteads, but they did.. Use Miracle Whip for the real-deal, but I know a lot of folks don't like it so use mayo if you're, ahem, 'one of them'.. lol..
