A tangy Italian twist on tuna salad, this cheesy open-faced sandwich from Nancy Monroe of Statesville, North Carolina is a fuss-free standout. Pair it with a cup of hot soup or chips for a tasty lunch.
Ingredients:
2 slices italian bread (1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons prepared pesto
1-1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
1 pouch (3 ounces) tuna
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 slices (1 ounce each) part-skim mozzarella cheese, halved
Directions:
1. Place bread on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn and broil 2 minutes longer or until golden brown.
2. Combine pesto and mayonnaise; spread over toasted bread. Top with tomato, tuna, pepper and cheese. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 2 servings.
