Chicago Heights Tuna Melt
- 1 can of good quality tuna fish, preferably albacore (of course).
- Mayonnaise
- Banana Peppers (your preferred degree of heat)
- Sliced black olives.
- Poppy seed dressing.
- Sliced tomatoes.
- Fresh, Baby Spinach
- Smoked Provolone
- Ground, dried Oregano Flakes
- Fresh, whole loaf, Italian Bread.
- Mix tuna with mayonnaise to your taste.
- Slice several inches off of a loaf of Italian break, then slice it in two to produce two halves, like a bun, with crust on outside of both pieces and white in middle.
- Spread one side with tuna.
- Top tuna with slices of provolone.
- Heat in toaster oven on aluminum foil, or put the open faced sandwich on a cookie sheet and heat beneath a broiler, watching it carefully to avoid burning it.
- Remove from broiler when cheese melts and top with tomatoes, sliced olives, and banana peppers.
- Squeeze a little of the poppy seed dressing on top, then sprinkle just a little oregano along the body of the sandwich.
- Close it up and enjoy!
