Tuna Melt Recipe

Tuna Melt Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tuna Salad

   In a bowl, combine canned tuna, mayonnaise, chopped celery, red onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

3. 3

   Assemble the Sandwich

   On two slices of rye bread, spread a layer of the tuna salad. Top each with two slices of Swiss cheese and two bacon strips. Place the remaining slices of rye bread on top.

4. 4

   Grill the Sandwich

   In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add additional butter as needed.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut in half, and serve with potato salad on the side.
