Tuna Supreme Melts

I love these tuna melt sandwiches... it just doesn't get any better!


You will need day-old bread to make this recipe... Because of it's flavor, I make a loaf of my V-8 Juice Bread and let it sit overnight before slicing, but you could buy day old bread or make any other variety of bread you prefer. You need slices that are fairly thick.

I also make my own mayonnaise, it tastes better than anything you can buy... I use this mayonnaise recipe for a greater depth to my tuna salad.

INGREDIENTS

Thick sliced, day-old bread
Thinly sliced Roma Tomatoes
2 regular tins of Tuna
Sweet Pickle Relish, to taste
1 teaspoon Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Dried Minced Onion
Mayonnaise to taste
Cheese of your choice
cooking spray

DIRECTIONS

Combine tuna, relish, lime juice, and onion. After combining well, add just enough mayonnaise to pull it all together... you don't want too much mayonnaise or you will end up with soggy sandwiches.

Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat to high. Place a slice of bread in pan, top with tomato and tuna salad. Cook till the bread is well toasted. Place cheese on top of tuna salad and top with final piece of bread. CAREFULLY flip the sandwich over in the pan, place a saucer on top of the sandwich to press it down well and cook till the bread is well toasted.

Serve.
