Emeril's Kicked Up Tuna Melt
Looking for an interesting tuna melt, i wandered into the food network where i found this little gem of emeril’s which i slightly adapted to suit my ‘buds. Even my tuna-averse husband loved them! i omit the tomatoes for personal preference, but have left them in the recipe. please note that while i’m leaving the recipe yield and ingredient quantities the same as the original, i actually got twice as many open-faced sandwiches!!
Steps
Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler.
Combine the tuna , olives , mayonnaise , red onion , capers , black pepper , lemon juice , and salt in a medium bowl.
Stir until well mixed.
Arrange the bread slices on a work surface.
Lightly spread each slice of bread with additional mayonnaise and top with 2 tomato slices each.
Divide the tuna salad evenly among the 4 bread slices over the tomatoes.
Top the tuna salad with slices of cheese.
Place sandwiches on a sheet tray and place under broiler.
Cook until cheese is golden and bubbly , about 3-4 minutes.
