Tuna Melt Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 slices sourdough

  toasted, 2 oz or 35-40 g each
• 6 oz canned tuna in brine

  or 180 grams (this is drained weight)
• ¼ small white onion

  or red, finely diced
• 1 heaped teaspoon of wholegrain mustard
• 2.5 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 cup grated cheese

  e.g. Cheddar, Tasty etc
• A few pinches of sea salt and ground black pepper
• To serve: gherkins and sliced cucumber

Instructions

• 1 Pre-toast the bread on the lowest setting in a toaster, then arrange the pieces
  on a piece of parchment paper on a flat baking tray.
• 2 Preheat the oven to Grill setting while you’re making the toppings.
• 3 Combine strained tuna with finely diced onions, mayonnaise and mustard and mash
  well with a fork.
• 4 Grate the cheese and set aside.
• 5 Spread a few tablespoons of the tuna mix on each piece of toast. Top generously
  with grated cheese.
• 6 Pop the tray under a hot grill (medium-high) but make sure it’s not too close to
  the grill or the edges of the toast will burn before the cheese melts properly.
  Grill until the cheese has melted and formed a golden crust, it should only take
  a few minutes.
• 7 Remove and cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with a few pinches of ground
  black pepper and sea salt.
