WOW! I LOVE different kinds of sandwiches like this! I did lightly drain the tuna (I used and Italian oil-packed tuna) b/c I didn't want it to be too runny, and I'm glad I did. I only had regular cheddar cheese and Italian bread on hand, so I used those. Oh man, this is a seriously delicious sandwich! Great blend of flavors and textures. Be sure to keep a stack of napkins on hand, this is a messy one, lol! I will def be making this again~YUM, YUM, YUM!!!!! Thanks for sharing. :)
Left out the mustard. Used sharp cheddar. Need to crush the chips a bit finer next time. Mmmm mmmm good.
If you stop after the addition of cheese and leave it as an open-faced sandwich without the cream cheese or top bread slice you have a tuna melt. The recipe as it stands is definitely not. Tuna melts are easy. Make your favorite tuna salad recipe (classic New Jersey diners add a little celery onion and a touch of mustard with the mayo nothing else) cover two slices of toasted bread with tuna salad spreading a little thinner than usual. Rye bread is traditional but whole wheat is nice too. Top with your favorite cheese (Cheddar American and Swiss are all traditional) and broil until the cheese melts and begins to brown. Serves 1.
ok Hiiiii! I really wanted to make my mom something for her birthday. But since she doesn't eat meat I made her this and she said she ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! I will definitely be using this recipe again ! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I used tuna in water and it turned out good. I would drain the tuna next time because it's a little runny which makes this very messy to eat.
An absolute favorite in my household. I can't quite figure out the least messy way to make this but the mess is worth it!
Love this recipe! Make it all the time. I have IBS so I use sourdough bread and leave out the onions. If I don't have dill pickles I sub 1 tbsp of relish. If I don't have cheddar I use colby. Also add a little salt and pepper to the tuna mix. Love this sandwich either way!
Wow. Different and delicious. Reviewer Ruth T, you’re missing the whole point of diversity! Anyone can google a plain old tuna melt. How about opening up to a whole new bunch of suggestions from other people’s culinary experience?! That’s the best part of AR.
I never used mustard in tuna but it was good! I didn't use irish cheddar or whole grain bread.
