Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Tuna Melt Sandwich.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, use a fork to flake the drained tuna into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Incorporate the diced celery, minced green onion, drained capers, creamy mayonnaise, and a hint of Asian chile paste.
Step 3
Carefully fold in small chunks of mozzarella cheese, then season the mixture with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
Step 4
Cover the bowl and let the tuna salad chill in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble your sandwiches.
Step 5
Preheat your oven's broiler and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 6
Generously slather softened butter on both sides of the French bread slices, ensuring an even coating.
Step 7
Place the buttered bread under the broiler, toasting until golden brown on top, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 8
Flip the bread and broil the other side until it reaches a delightful toastiness, another 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 9
Once toasted, turn the bread over so the darker sides are facing down on the baking sheet.
Step 10
With two forks, gently spread the luscious tuna salad onto the toasted bread slices, making sure to reach the edges for maximum flavor.
Step 11
Crown each sandwich with a generous sprinkle of shredded Cheddar cheese and a light dusting of cayenne pepper for a touch of heat.
Step 12
Return the sandwiches to the broiler and watch as the cheese melts and bubbles, which should take around 5 to 6 minutes.
Step 13
Enjoy the delightful aroma and the satisfying crunch of your delicious tuna melt creation!.
