TUNA MELT CALZONES RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine tuna and mayonnaise in a bowl and mash with a fork until well combined. Stir in celery, green onions and salt and mix until incorporated. Divide tuna mixture into 6 equal portions. Place spinach in a large frying pan over high heat. Cook, tossing occasionally, until fully wilted. Let cool and then squeeze out excess liquid. Divide into 6 portions. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 equal pieces. Gently form each piece into a ball and roll out into a 6-inch circle. Spread 1 portion of tuna mixture on half of each circle leaving a ½-inch border. Top each with 2 heaping tablespoons of cheddar cheese and spread a portion of spinach overtop. Moisten inside edge with egg and fold dough over to enclose filling; press down edges to seal. Cut two slits in the top of each calzone. Brush tops with egg; sprinkle each with ½ teaspoon Parmesan. Bake calzones for 10 to 14 min or until tops and bottoms are deeply golden and filling bubbles through slits. Serve hot or let cool and pack. NOTE These calzones freeze well, so they're ready whenever you are. Bake from frozen in a 475f oven for 16 min, or until tops are nicely golden.

TASTY TUNA MELTS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients; mix well. Place one cheese slice, two tomato slices and 1/3 cup tuna mixture on three slices of bread; top with remaining cheese slices and bread. In a large skillet or griddle, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Toast sandwiches until lightly browned on both sides, adding butter if necessary.

TUNA MELT

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.
