These have become a quick dinner staple. They are sooo good, and comes together in minutes. You can change the type of cheese, but I've found that something with a stronger flavor that melts well, is best. The type of bread I use is called Saloio and is similar to Ciabbata (Saloio is a portuguese bread readily available at our supermarket bakery). Ingredients:
8 slices saloio bread, cut about 3/4 inch thick and toasted lightly |
3 (6 ounce) cans tuna in water (drained well) |
1/2 cup mayonnaise (can use light, adjust amount as needed) |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 tablespoon old bay seasoning |
salt and pepper |
2 tomatoes, sliced |
8 slices piquante provolone cheese (or swiss) |
Directions:
1. Mix the tuna, mayo, onion, lemon juice, old bay seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix well.
2. Place enough tuna on a toasted slice of bread and spread to cover slice.
3. Top with slice of tomato (or 2 if the tomato slice is small) and then top with a slice of cheese. Place sandwich slices on a cookie sheet.
4. Placing rack not too close to the broiler (about the second one down), broil sandwiches until the cheese is golden brown.
