Tuna Melt Ingredients

Method

Tuna Melt Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna Salad

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

  2. 2

    Assemble the Melt

    Take a lettuce leaf and place a portion of the tuna salad on it. Top with a slice of tomato and a generous handful of shredded mozzarella cheese.

  3. 3

    Grill the Tuna Melt

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once melted, place the assembled tuna melts in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and the lettuce is slightly wilted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve immediately while hot.
