This Tuna Melt is my ultimate comfort food! Serve this for breakfast or snack, and you have yourself a meal to remember! Just follow these easy steps and you are good to go. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
5 tbsp mayonnaise
½ c mozzarella, shredded
1 clove garlic, minced (or ½ tsp ready minced garlic)
1 tbsp parsley, chopped
12 slices bread
softened butter
20 oz tuna in water or oil, drained (four 5-oz. cans)
½ celery stalk, chopped (about ¼ c)
salt and pepper, to taste
1 medium onion, chopped (about ½ c)
Directions:
1. Drain the tuna, then add it to a mixing bowl. Use a fork to gently break it into small pieces.
2. Add the celery, onion, parsley, garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, mozzarella cheese, and mayonnaise into the bowl with the tuna. Stir until well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Add a non-stick skillet to the stove and turn the heat to medium.
4. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and allow it to become hot.
5. Brush one side of a bread slice with butter.
6. Add the bread to the skillet, then top it with 3 tbsp of the tuna filling.
7. Add another bread slice over the tuna filling to make a sandwich. Cook both sides for a few minutes until they turn golden brown and toasted.
8. Transfer the sandwich onto a clean plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
9. Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
You can add the butter directly into the pan and let it melt before you add the bread.
You must remove excess grease by placing it onto a plate with paper towels.
Serve this with a pasta dish if you like.
