Ingredients
- 2 cans Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Polish dill pickles (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Grated horseradish
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Rye bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
- 0.5 cup Sauerkraut (optional, drained)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, mayonnaise, chopped Polish dill pickles, grated horseradish, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2
If using sauerkraut, pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
Butter one side of each slice of rye bread. Lay the bread buttered side down on a clean surface.
Step 4
Divide the tuna mixture evenly between two slices of the bread, spreading it into a layer.
Step 5
Top the tuna mixture with an optional layer of sauerkraut, if desired.
Step 6
Place one slice of Swiss cheese on top of the tuna mixture (or sauerkraut if added).
Step 7
Close the sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
Step 8
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crisp, and the cheese is melted.
Step 9
Remove from heat and let the sandwiches cool for a minute before slicing and serving.
Step 10
Enjoy your Polish Tuna Melt Sandwich warm alongside a cup of soup or a fresh salad.
