Reliving Happy Childhood Memories with Family Favorite Tuna Melts
- 1 can (6 Oz. Can) Tuna
- 3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
- 6 slices Bread
- 6 slices Cheese
- Mix up the tuna and mayo (try it out, some like it smooth, others like it chunky).
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay out the slices of bread on a cookie sheet.
- Spread the tuna mixture on the bread.
- Add a slice of cheese to each one.
- Throw in the oven on broil for about 5 minutes until the cheese is just starting to turn brown.
- Take out and let cool.
- Serve with a bowl of soup.
- Instant lunch in less than 15 minutes.
- When I first told a friend of mine about that recipe, she thought that cooking mayo was bad for you, but it does not turn bad.
- It is not being cooked.
- You are only putting the sandwiches in long enough to melt the cheese and toast the bread.
- If you would like to make a can of tuna go further, my father used to chop up celery and onions and throw them in with the mayo and tuna.
- Add some garlic salt and salt and pepper and away you go.
- It should make 6 sandwiches from one 6-ounce can of tuna.
- Use the same method for egg salad sandwiches.
- 6 eggs should make 6 or 7 sandwiches.
- Mix it up even more by trying different varieties of cheese, adding chopped pickles instead of celery, and whatever you think goes with it.
- Half the fun of making recipes is trying new taste sensations.
- Give it a go!
