This was amazing! Will for sure be making again. So easy and by far the best tuna melt I’ve ever had. Just make sure to drain your tuna well because my mixture was a little watery and had to drain some more liquid before assembling.
Ah that’s so exciting to hear!! And yes, draining the canned tuna prior to adding to the mixture makes a huge difference in the outcome 😉
What type of tuna lol….
I love to use a wild albacore canned tuna!
It was so yummy. It was the best tuna melt I’ve ever had! However the prep time is way longer than 10 minutes lol
So happy you loved it!! Lol will definitely make note of that 🙂
My family loved this!
Made for dinner this evening. Best tuna melt ever. I was feeling extra at the grocery store so i had lump crab meat. However, no notes. 10/10 for the original recipe.
That makes me so excited to hear! Also, lump crab meat sounds incredible with it!
This worked exactly as written, thanks!

What kind of tuna did you use?
I used wild albacore tuna!
Absolutely phenomenal 👏
I never tried a recipe with tuna before and it smelled very much like cat food in the beginning. But when I tried it combined as a sandwich + some salt and vinegar chips this was soo delicious! I‘m so glad I tried this one! ☺️
I have made this so many times now and i looooove it. i tried it once with rotisserie chicken instead of tuna and it was great!
