    Love em! Marble rye, Swiss, chopped celery and a generous sprinkle of Old Bay!

    My tuna melts are always open face – had one tonight.

  5. professor-hot-tits

    Love it on sourdough with avocado and pepper jack

  9. TickingTheMoments

    Throw some well-done bacon on that and I am all over it.

    Love a tuna melt.

    Recently made a trout melt with some Trader Joe’s tinned trout and it was delicious.

    I add chopped pickled jalapeños & a little of the pickling brine into the tuna mix. Gives it a nice spicy, tangy kick!

    Mine have sharp cheddar. Tuna salad with spicy diced pickle. Yeesh the heart burn

    My favorite grilled sandwich. My go too when I am feeling lazy but want something good. 

    I recommend lightly toasting the bread first so it doesn’t get soggy then add the cheese and tuna finish off in the pan. I like butter on the outside. 

    Also the Penzy Spices Sandwich sprinkle blend is so good mixed into Tuna, it really adds a lot of flavor without being overpowering. Compliments it perfectly in my opinion. 

    I also add pepperchi into my tuna or capers depending on my mood. 

    Tomatoes can be pretty good too.

    Open faced tuna melt on an English muffin is a go to for me

    Needs hotsauce mixed in with the tuna and mayo. Must be accompanied by a pickle. Love ’em

    I’d only eat tuna melts for the rest of my days if I could.

    How do you make a closed face tuna melt? Like a grilled cheese? Doesn’t the tuna get, like, super hot? And you miss out on the slightly burnt bits. I mean, I’m down to try one [even tonight!] but I don’t really get it.

    Second question: I see you use the term “plus up”. Do you watch *Sandwiches of History* by chance? It’s great.

    One of my all-time favorites! I love tuna melts!

    The tuba is the tuna fish sandwich of the symphony

    I feel about tuna melts the same way JD Vance feels about couches. Well, not quite the same way, but its close.

    I like to grill the inside of the bread slices before I construct and grill / melt it up. Also a fun of a few jalapeños on there. Usually Swiss but almost all cheese is delicious on a melt. Great sandwich.

    I like them, but I was about to be really fucking angry because I thought you posted this on r/grilledcheese

  32. MooseGoneApe

    Reminds me of an all lesbians band from high-school, Hot Tuna….

  33. Logical_Warthog5212

    Love ‘em. I like them more than a grilled cheese. I like it more as a sandwich than open faced. I’d rather eat it without a fork and knife or like a slice of pizza. Although I have had a tuna pizza before. It was basically an open faced tuna melt but on a pizza crust.

    First tuna melt I ever had was in college. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it! My family didn’t like warm tuna.

  35. JunkaTron69

    I like them. I have a couple different ways to make them. But Swiss cheese and Rye is my standard.

  42. MadSweeneysCousin

    Open faced on a Thomas English muffin. Pretoast English muffin and finish in toaster oven.

  44. Overall-Pattern-809

    Yesss with Mayo, mustard, pickles, hot sauce, lettuce, tomato, and sharp cheddar cheese

    Is there heaven? Is there Hell?
    Is that tuna melt I smell?
