To buy
- 4 oz sharp cheddar cheese
From your shelf
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna salad on wheat bread
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna (Meijer)
Staples
- 2 tablespoons butter
- pinch salt
- pinch pepper
- Heat your broiler to high and set a rack 4 inches [10 cm] from the element. Slice 4 thick slices from the bread and arrange them on a baking sheet.
- Drain both cans of tuna well and mix them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon softened butter, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Divide the mixture between the 4 bread slices, spreading it evenly to the edges.
- Shred 4 oz cheese over the tuna on each slice, covering it completely. Broil until the cheese melts and the top is golden, about 3 minutes; watch it closely.
- Transfer to plates and eat while hot.
Note Swap the cheese for any melting kind you have. Wrapped tuna melts keep in the refrigerator for two days; reheat gently in a 350°F [175°C] oven. Serve with a simple green salad or pickles on the side.
