Tuna Melt is a classic and filling sandwich. It works perfectly as an easy lunch. If you’re feeling a bit fancy and have a few extra minutes on your hands, try using one of these twists to upgrade your sandwich.
The Perfect Cheese Blend
Experiment with different cheeses to create a more complex flavor profile. Combine sharp cheddar for its tanginess with creamy Monterey Jack or gooey mozzarella.
Herb Infusion
Upgrade your tuna salad filling by adding fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or chives. These herbs will add some color and add freshness to your sandwich.
Spicy Kick
If you enjoy a touch of heat, try incorporating diced jalapeños, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, or even a dash of hot sauce into the tuna mixture. The subtle spiciness will add an exciting dimension to the sandwich.
Pickled Delight
Add a tangy twist by layering pickles or pickled red onions into your tuna melt. The acidic flavor will cut through the richness of the tuna and cheese.
The Ultimate Crunch
Finally, play with the textural by adding a layer of crispy bacon, thinly sliced apples, or even potato chips between the tuna salad and cheese. A tasty contrast to the creamy tuna and melted cheese.
