Tuna Melt

You can’t beat a hot, oven baked Tuna Melt sandwich! This recipe is so easy to make with the best tuna salad and hot, melted cheese on top of buttery toasted bread.

Talk about a classic. You just can’t beat a piping hot Tuna Melt! (With a pickle and a side of chips, of course!)

Many recipes call for making this in a skillet, but in this recipe, we bake it in the oven to ensure it’s evenly hot and melted throughout. (Plus, it’s not easy to flip a tuna melt in a skillet without making a mess!) We do toast some buttery bread in a skillet first though, for that grilled cheese effect!

The filling for this sandwich comes from my amazing Tuna Salad recipe. The flavor and texture is perfect.
