Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna in water
- 0.33 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 0.33 cup celery, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sandwich bread slices
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 4 Swiss cheese slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler setting or a toaster oven to high.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced celery, minced red onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended and set aside.
Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. Place the slices buttered-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Spoon the prepared tuna mixture evenly onto the non-buttered sides of the bread slices. Gently spread it out to cover the surface.
Top each tuna-covered bread slice with a slice of Swiss cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the oven on the middle rack. Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the Swiss Tuna Melts from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute or two.
Cut in halves if desired and serve warm. Enjoy your cheesy, creamy Swiss Tuna Melts!
