Gourmet Tuna Melts
Tuna melts get a bad rep, but let me tell you...these gourmet tomato tuna melts are so delicious, easy and nutritious! My kids gobble them up every single time.
Ingredients
- 1 can flaked light tuna
- 2 slices whole grain bread I use sprouted grain bread
- 4 slices fresh tomato approx 1 tomato
- 1.5 tbsp mayonnaise
- ¼ tsp dill dried
- 1.5 oz. cheddar cheese grated or thinly sliced
- freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven or toaster oven to a low broil
- Open can of tuna, drain water and spoon into a medium size bowl. Add mayo, dill and pepper. Using a fork, combine well.
- Top both pieces of bread with equal amounts of tuna mixture, top with tomato slices (2 on each) and cheese (evenly distributed between both).
- Place open-faced tuna sandwiches on a baking sheet and into the preheated oven for approximately 2 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly golden brown on top (watch carefully so that it doesn't burn!)
- Allow two to three minutes to cool. Serve with raw veggies and dip or sliced fresh fruit. Enjoy!
