Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Canned tuna in water
- 150 grams Canned sweet corn
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Wholegrain bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler (grill) to medium-high heat.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the canned tuna, sweet corn, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until fully combined.
Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place the bread slices buttered-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Evenly divide the tuna and sweet corn mixture among the four slices of bread, spreading it to cover each slice completely.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese generously over the mixture on each slice.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler (grill) for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.
Remove from the oven carefully and let the melts cool slightly before handling.
Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your Tuna and Sweet Corn Melts!
