Description
A clean, satisfying tuna melt built on wholesome ingredients — skipjack tuna, sharp cheddar, and sprouted grain bread with crisp sprouts and fresh tomato.
Ingredients:
Instructions
-
Drain tuna thoroughly — press with a fork to remove as much liquid as possible. In a bowl, combine with binding agent (see variations), Dijon mustard, celery, green onions, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and taste for seasoning.
-
Set oven to broil on high. Lay bread slices on a baking sheet. Toast lightly first — either in a toaster or under the broiler for 1–2 minutes per side — so it holds up under the tuna.
-
Divide tuna salad evenly over bread slices. Top each with a slice of sharp cheddar. Broil on the top rack for 2–3 minutes, watching closely, until cheese is melted and bubbling with a few golden spots.
-
Remove from oven and immediately layer on tomato slices and a generous handful of sprouts. Add cold sprouts after broiling — not before — to preserve crunch. Serve open-faced or press two halves together.
