HOW TO MAKE A TUNA MELT
This is dedicated to all those chefs who tell you to never, ever mix fish and cheese together; and yet there they are, at the diner at 2:00 in the morning. And you know what they eat? Tuna melts. And the reason they do is because it is delicious.

Steps:
- Place tuna into a mixing bowl and lightly break apart with a fork. Add green onion, celery, capers, chile paste, and mayonnaise. Pinch small pieces from mozzarella cheese into the tuna salad and stir to mix. Season with salt and black pepper; refrigerate tuna salad until needed.
- Heat oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Spread butter generously on both sides of French bread slices.
- Broil buttered bread until golden brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip bread slices and broil other side until toasted, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from oven and turn bread slices over on the baking sheet so the darkest sides are on the bottom.
- Gently spread tuna salad onto bread slices using 2 forks. Press the salad onto the bread and spread tuna all the way to the edges of the bread. Spread shredded sharp Cheddar over each sandwich. Dust tops with cayenne pepper.
- Place sandwiches under broiler and cook until cheese is melted and bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes.

BLT TUNA MELTS
Bacon, diced apples and dill make this creamy tuna salad salty, sweet, crispy and crunchy. Sandwich it with lettuce, tomato and melty provolone cheese between two golden brown pieces of bread, and you've got yourself a match made in (sandwich!) heaven.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
- Place the bacon in a cold medium skillet over a burner, then turn the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Spread 1/2 cup of the mayo on both sides of all the bread slices. Season with a pinch of salt. Place the sliced bread on a sheet tray and bake for 3 minutes. Flip the bread. Bake until light golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep the oven on.
- Mix the remaining 1/2 cup mayo with the Dijon mustard, dill, tuna, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of pepper in a medium bowl with a fork until creamy. Add the apple and bacon bits and stir until well combined.
- To assemble the sandwiches, keep 4 of the toasted bread slices on the sheet tray. Divide the tuna salad among them and spread into an even layer. Top each with 1 of the lettuce pieces, 2 of the tomato slices and 1 slice of the provolone. Bake until the cheese has melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Top each tuna melt with 1 of the remaining toasted bread slices and serve.

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.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, celery, pickle relish, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- On a cutting board, butter one side of each slice of bread. Flip the bread over so it is buttered-side down. Divide the tuna mixture between 2 slices of bread. Top with the cheddar cheese, then place the other slices of bread on top, buttered-side out.
- Heat a large pan over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook, without moving, for about 2 minutes, until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwiches over and continue to cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted, 2 minutes more.
- Transfer the tuna melts to a cutting board and cut in half. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

TUNA MELT
Legend has it that the tuna melt was accidentally invented in the 1960s at the Woolworth's lunch counter in Charleston, S.C., when the cook didn't notice that a bowl of tuna salad had tipped over onto a grilled cheese. We may never know if this story is true, but there's no doubt that the tuna melt has become a classic American diner food. This recipe adds chopped cornichons and whole-grain mustard for a satisfying crunch and vinegary element. Extra-sharp Cheddar is a must, and as with grilled cheese, the key to achieving perfectly melted cheese and golden bread is to toast the sandwich over medium-low heat. If you prefer an open-face tuna melt, skip the top piece of bread and place the sandwich on a sheet pan under the broiler until the cheese melts.

Steps:
- Place the tuna in a medium bowl and flake with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, cornichons, red onion, lemon juice, dill (if using), mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Depending on the size of your bread, spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup tuna salad on each of four slices of bread, heaping it in the middle slightly. Divide the cheese among the sandwiches, tearing and arranging the cheese to fit neatly. Place a piece of bread on top of each and generously spread the top piece of each sandwich with about 1/2 tablespoon butter.
- Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-low. Place two sandwiches, buttered-side down, in the skillet, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottom pieces of bread are golden brown.
- Meanwhile, spread the top of the each sandwich with another 1/2 tablespoon butter. Carefully flip the sandwiches, turn the heat to low, and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes, until the bottoms are browned and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining two sandwiches and serve immediately.
BEST TUNA MELTS EVER
This tuna melt recipe is made from my tuna salad recipe. It is lower in fat and absolutely delicious. The key is to toast the bread first! (And the spices help). It is my own creation, and I do not usually use a recipe - I am sharing this with you now, in hopes that you'll love it as much as my friends & I do! YUM! NOTE: You can use premium tuna or not - I usually use the cheaper stuff for the tuna melts & save the Albacore for the pasta salads.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl, add the mayo, mustard, salt, pepper & spice. Mix with a fork.
- Finely dice the onion & dill pickle, and add to the bowl.
- Add the tuna, well drained, to the mixture.
- With a fork, mix well, ensuring the tuna is saturated with mayo & mustard, and the pickles & onion are evenly distributed. Adjust spice as necessary.
- Slice the tomato into very thin slices, removing seeds. Place slices on a paper towel to absorb moisture (you don't want soggy bread).
- Toast bread, slightly lighter than you prefer.
- Divide tuna salad mixture in half, and scoop on top of the toast. Spread the mixture evenly.
- Place tomato slices on top of tuna mixture.
- Sprinkle grated cheese on to toast.
- Place toast onto a cookie sheet.
- Bake for 5 - 10 minutes, until cheese is bubbly.
- Enjoy!
