My review
Mary Pat's Tuna Melt
Leslie Kelly
"This sandwich gets a crunchy finish with chips embedded into the bread. I use very special potato chips that were sent to me from Pennsylvania by my dear friend, MP. But if you can't find Utz®, your favorite chip will work just fine. Serve with more chips and pickles."

Ready In
- Mix tuna, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl. Stir in pickle and red onion. Spread tuna mixture on 2 slices of bread. Top each with 2 slices of Cheddar cheese.
- Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese on each of the remaining 2 slices of bread. Place on top of the Cheddar cheese.
- Place crushed chips in a shallow bowl. Spread top side of each tuna melt with 1 1/2 teaspoon mayonnaise and press into the chips. Repeat on other side.
- Heat a dry grill pan over medium-high heat. Toast tuna melts until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Use a panini press instead of a grill pan to toast the tuna melts if preferred.
- Tip
- Parchment can be used for easier cleanup/removal from the pan.

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 regula...

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...

Left out the mustard. Used sharp cheddar. Need to crush the chips a bit finer next time. Mmmm, mmmm good.

Good, but SOOO rich - way too rich for our taste. I prefer simple tuna sandwiches, but it was fun to try.
