Simple Tuna Melt

Tuna has been on sale recently, so I stocked up. Later I realized I don't know what to do with it. So, I had Trav look online for a tuna melt recipe. He found this one on allrecipes.com and we both thought it was excellent. And no fuss whatsoever. (We were out of honey dijon, so we substituted spicy brown instead.)

Ingredients

  • 1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained and flaked
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread
  • 2 teaspoons chopped dill pickle
  • 1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place bread slices in the oven to toast while it preheats, and while you make the tuna salad.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, salt, balsamic vinegar, mustard and dill pickle until well blended. Remove bread from the oven, and pile the tuna mixture onto one slice. Sprinkle cheese over the other slice of bread.
  3. Bake for 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese is melted and tuna is heated through. Place the cheese side of the sandwich on top of the tuna side. Cut in half and serve immediately.
