About Tuna melt
Tuna Melt is a classic comfort food that combines creamy tuna salad, melted cheese, and toasted bread for a deliciously satisfying sandwich. Typically made using canned tuna mixed with mayonnaise, celery, onions, and seasonings, it’s then layered with a slice of cheddar or Swiss cheese and grilled on whole wheat, rye, or sourdough bread. Originating in American cuisine, it’s a warm twist on traditional tuna salad sandwiches. Tuna is an excellent source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. However, the addition of mayonnaise and cheese increases the fat and calorie content, making moderation key for those watching their intake. Opting for reduced-fat mayo and whole-grain bread can improve its nutritional profile. Often served with a side of soup or salad, the Tuna Melt strikes a balance between indulgence and practicality as a quick, flavorful meal.
