Tuna Melt

Sometimes nothing hits the spot quite like a properly crunchy, fully loaded sandwich. This is one of my absolute favourites. Only warning... don’t have this in the middle of a working day… because you will, without fail, need a nap afterwards.

Cook

10m

Ingredients

Method

Turn cooking mode on

Step 1

In a bowl, combine your drained tuna with the spring onion, red onion, parsley and cornichons. Add the mayonnaise, hot sauce, mustard and a pinch of salt, then mix everything together until well combined.

1 tin Tuna

1/2 Spring onion

1/4 Red onion

Parsley

3 Cornichons

2 tbsp Mayonnaise

1 tsp Hot sauce

1 tsp Wholegrain mustard

Salt

Step 2

Grate in a generous amount of mature cheddar and mix again so it’s evenly distributed and properly bound together.

1 handful Mature cheddar

Step 3

Butter the outside of both slices of bread. On the unbuttered side of one slice, pile on the tuna mixture and spread it right to the edges.

Butter

4 slices Bread

Step 4

Place the second slice on top, buttered side facing out.

Step 5

Get a pan on a low heat and add your sandwich. Cover with a lid and cook slowly so the cheese melts before the bread catches.

Step 6

Fry for 3–4 minutes on one side until deep golden and crisp, then flip and repeat on the other side, keeping the lid on.

Step 7

Once both sides are properly toasted and the middle is molten, take it out, slice, and get stuck in straight away.
