Tuna Melt

[the_cooking_mom]

Очень вкусно получилось! Сегодня я сделала open face sandwiches with тунец с сельдереем, капирсами, красным луком, паприкой, черным перцем, соком лимона, горчицей и майонезом. Сверху положила smoked goat cheese и запекала 5 минут, а предварительно 2 минуты запекала просто хлеб с авокадовым маслом.

Ingredients

▢ 2 tablespoons (28ml) butter or olive oil
▢ 4 slices bread

Tuna Salad

▢ 6- 8 ounce canned tuna , drained
▢ 1 green onion , finely chopped, about (2 tablespoons)
▢ 1 celery stick , finely chopped (¼ cup)
▢ ½ tablespoon (2g) fresh parsley , chopped
▢ 1 teaspoon (4g) Creole seasoning
▢ 1 teaspoon (5g) minced garlic
▢ juice of ½ lemon
▢ ¼ cup (58g) mayonnaise
▢ ½ tablespoon (7.5ml) Dijon mustard
▢ salt to taste

Optional Ingredients

▢ 1 avocado , sliced(optional)
▢ 1-2 tomatoes , sliced
▢ ⅓ - ½ cup (37.67g-56.5g) shredded mozzarella

Instructions
Oven Method

Preheat oven to 375° Degrees F (190 C). While the oven is heating up, proceed with making the tuna salad.
In a medium bowl, mix together tuna, green onion, celery, parsley, Creole seasoning, garlic, lemon juice, mayonnaise, mustard, and salt to taste.
Place bread slices on a lined baking sheet, then brush one side of bread with melted butter or olive oil. Toast for about 2-3 minutes. Remove bread slices from the oven.
Top bread with tuna salad, a slice or grated cheese, and any filling (tomatoes and/or avocado). Then cover with the other slice bread.
Place on a baking sheet and bake until cheese is melty - 5 to 8 minutes.
For an open-face sandwich, DO NOT top the sandwich with the other piece of bread. Leave as is and place in the oven until both sides are melted.

Skillet Method

Divide the tuna salad equally- in half or thirds, depending on the number of sandwiches you are making.
Place tuna salad on half of the bread slices (2 or 3), and evenly spread on the slice.
Followed by cheese and additional ingredients, tomato, and avocado(optional). Brush with butter.
Heat a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-heat. Add about 1 -2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
Place sandwich and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side.
Carefully flip sandwich using a spatula to aid in the process. You can equally flip without a spatula and let it cook for 2-3 more minutes until cheese melts and bread is brown and toasty.
Remove and serve warm.
