Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna in water
- 0.33 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 0.33 cup celery, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sandwich bread slices
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 4 Swiss cheese slices
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler setting or a toaster oven to high.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced celery, minced red onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended and set aside.
Step 3
Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. Place the slices buttered-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Step 4
Spoon the prepared tuna mixture evenly onto the non-buttered sides of the bread slices. Gently spread it out to cover the surface.
Step 5
Top each tuna-covered bread slice with a slice of Swiss cheese.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the oven on the middle rack. Broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove the Swiss Tuna Melts from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute or two.
Step 8
Cut in halves if desired and serve warm. Enjoy your cheesy, creamy Swiss Tuna Melts!
