Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each), drained canned tuna
- 1 cup, roughly chopped marinated artichoke hearts
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices sourdough bread slices
- 4 slices cheddar or Gruyere cheese
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for brushing the bread) olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Lightly brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil, if using, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, oiled side down.
Divide the tuna and artichoke mixture evenly among the four bread slices, spreading it to cover the top of each slice.
Place a slice of cheese on top of the tuna mixture on each sandwich.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If desired, turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end for a golden, crispy cheese topping.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the melts cool for 2 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
