TASTY TUNA MELT, NO MAYO

This tuna melt tastes incredibly rich and uses no mayo. It's a versatile recipe too. You can change the type of bread or cheese, spice it up or down, or even switch it to salmon instead of tuna, and it always comes out great. The lime juice "pre cooks" the tuna and makes it seem creamier, so you don't need any mayonnaise. It makes 4 sandwiches if your bread slices are small, but only 2 or 3 larger sandwiches if you use big slices of bread.

Steps:

  • Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster.
  • Combine the onions, parsley, and tuna in mixing bowl. You can add hot sauce or other spices if you want to jazz it up.
  • Add the lime juice to the bowl and mix it all up with a fork. You can substitute lemon juice for lime juice if needed.
  • Place the bread on a baking sheet. Cover each slice with the tuna mixture.
  • Cut the cheese into slices and then cover each sandwich with a thin layer of cheese.
  • Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling a bit.
  • (Optional) You can also add a fresh slice of tomato or avocado to each sandwich and then broil for 1 or 2 more minutes. (If you broil much longer than that the tomato or avocado can get mushy).
  • (Optional) If you like a firmer sandwich, melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet and then transfer the cooked sandwiches to the skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the bottom of the bread is buttery and firm.
  • Serve them while they're hot.

1/3 cup minced onion
2 tablespoons lime juice (squeezed from one fresh lime is best)
1 (6 ounce) can solid white tuna packed in water, well drained
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/4 lb cheddar cheese
4 slices whole wheat bread
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
1 ripe tomatoes, sliced (optional)
1 avocado, sliced (optional)
hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine ½ medium onion, thinly sliced, and 1 cup seasoned rice vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Gently mix two 5-oz. cans tuna packed in olive oil, drained, ¼ cup mayonnaise, 2 Tbsp. chopped celery, and 1 Tbsp. chopped pickles in a medium bowl until just combined. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Heat a dry large cast-iron skillet over medium-low. Spread mayonnaise over 1 side of 2 slices sourdough bread. Place bread, mayo side down, in skillet; top 1 bread slice with 2 slices sharp cheddar. Cover with a lid and cook until bread is golden brown underneath and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes. (The cheese should form a crispy skirt around the bread.)
  • Uncover skillet and top bread with melted cheddar with one fourth of tuna salad, then some drained reserved pickled onion. Close up sandwich and gently press down on sandwich with a spatula. Transfer to a cutting board and slice in half on a diagonal. Repeat cooking process 3 more times with more mayonnaise and remaining tuna salad, pickled onion, 6 slices sourdough bread, and 6 slices sharp cheddar to make 3 more sandwiches.
  • Serve sandwiches on plates with dill pickle spears if desired.

½ medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 (5-oz.) cans tuna packed in olive oil, drained
¼ cup mayonnaise, plus more for spreading
2 Tbsp. chopped celery
1 Tbsp. chopped dill pickles
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
8 slices sourdough bread
8 slices sharp cheddar
Dill pickle spears (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place bread slices in the oven to toast while it preheats, and while you make the tuna salad.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, salt, balsamic vinegar, mustard and dill pickle until well blended. Remove bread from the oven, and pile the tuna mixture onto one slice. Sprinkle cheese over the other slice of bread.
  • Bake for 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is melted and tuna is heated through. Place the cheese side of the sandwich on top of the tuna side. Cut in half and serve immediately.
