This Air Fryer Tuna Melt is the perfect pairing of toasty buttery bread and creamy cheesy tuna salad. You'll love the combination of flavors and texture in this easy and comforting lunch!
What makes comfort food even better? Letting the air fryer do all the work! My Air Fryer Tuna Melt is packed with the creamy cozy flavors you love, sandwiched between two extra toasty slices of buttery bread.
With a slight twist from the traditional tuna melt, this recipe gets a massive upgrade, with the air fryer making the bread extra crispy while the cheese and tuna warms and melts inside. From crab rangoon to chicken tenders, the air fryer does a fantastic job at adding all the crispiness of a deep frier without the time, mess, or extra grease.
Pickled red onion, dill, and chives add extra zip to the creamy tuna salad that’s absolutely craveable. The two kinds of cheese melted on top and fresh juicy tomato slices make this one of our favorite toasted sandwiches yet!
