Simple, Customizable Tuna Melts
I am all about simple, easy, & flexible recipes. These customizable tuna melts are yummy and fit into all 3 of those categories. I hope you enjoy using this as a base to create your own recipe!
INGREDIENTS:
Protein
Canned Tuna
Condiments
Mayo
Mustard (I prefer Dijon)
Hot Sauce
Seasonings
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Fresh Parsley
Crunch
Celery
Apple
Onion (green, red, yellow, white)
Peppers (sweet, red, green, yellow, orange)
Sauerkraut
Jalapeno
Toppings
Cheese
Avocado
METHOD:
Choose your ingredients. Chop what needs it & add it all to a large bowl.
Mix well to combine.
Taste and see if you need to add anything else.
Top a piece of bread with your unique mixture. Add any of the toppings & then pop it into the oven or toaster oven until the top is lightly browned & warm.
Pair with yummy sides, such as chips, fresh veggies, hummus, crackers...Again the possibilities are endless!
NOTES:
I like to make a big batch of this for my husband and I. This means I use about 4 cans of tuna and we can eat on it for 3-5 days!
You could make a Chicken Salad version with shredded chicken if you really despise tuna. However, my husband had tuna growing up and wasn’t a huge fan, but once I made him this, he could not get enough. It makes for the perfect easy meal & I am all about having simple recipes on hand.
This recipe can be used as a “clean out the fridge” meal. I love throwing things together with what we have on hand that is about to go bad. I know not everyone is comfortable with this method, but I encourage you to just try it! You will get better the more you do it! Ask your at-home food critics for feedback, taste as you go, and, when in doubt, add more seasonings or fresh ingredients.
I hope you enjoyed this recipe & please let me know what you think in the comments!
