Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 1 cup artichoke hearts (quartered, drained and chopped)
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces sourdough bread slices
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened, for spreading)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to broil and adjust the rack to the upper third of the oven.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each sourdough bread slice and place them buttered-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Evenly divide the tuna-artichoke mixture among the four bread slices, spreading it to cover the surface.
Top each sandwich with a generous layer of sliced or shredded cheddar cheese.
Broil in the oven for 4-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the edges of the bread are golden brown. Be sure to watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the melts cool slightly before serving.
Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top as a garnish for added freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Tuna Artichoke Melts!
