Tuna Melt
This tasty Tuna Melt recipe can be served as an hors d'oeuvre or as a fast healthy meal; it all depends on which food vessel you'll be using!
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz.) tuna, drained and flaked
- 3 tbsp. Miracle Whip®
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. fresh chopped dill tips & tricks
- 1 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice tips & tricks
- 1/4 tsp. hot sauce such as Cholula®, or to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
- Small pinch ground Himalayan pink salt
- 2 tsp. green onions, finely chopped
- 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 regular dinner rolls (substitute hamburger buns), sliced see Recipe
- 1/4 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
Directions
- Turn the oven on broil and arrange a rack about 6-inches from the heating element.
- In a bowl, add tuna, Miracle Whip®, Dijon mustard, dill, lemon juice, hot sauce, freshly ground black pepper, salt, and green onions; stir until well blended. If you want a little heat, add cayenne pepper.
- Spoon the tuna mixture evenly on top of 4 bread pieces; top with cheese (*see footnote).
- Place them on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper and transfer to the oven. Broil until the cheese is JUST melted, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
Notes
Footnote: If you want to serve it as a canapé, use fancier food vessels such as miniature English muffins or miniature croissants and then garnish with fresh chives.
