Crispy Tuna Melt
Ingredients
  • 1 (5 ounce) can olive-oil packed tuna, undrained
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 dill pickle, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 4 slices rustic whole-grain bread
  • 4 slices Irish Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons whipped cream cheese, divided
  • 1 cup coarsely crushed potato chips (such as Utz®)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, divided
Instructions
1
Combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Blend these ingredients until they're well combined. Add the finely chopped pickle and red onion to the mixture, stirring until it's fully incorporated.
2
Place two slices of bread on a flat surface and spread the tuna mixture evenly onto each slice. Top each slice with two slices of Cheddar cheese, pressing them gently to adhere.
3
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on the remaining two slices of bread. Place these slices on top of the Cheddar cheese, creating a sandwich.
4
Dip each side of the tuna melt into a shallow dish containing crushed chips. Coat both sides evenly, pressing gently to ensure they stick.
5
Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Place the tuna melts in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they're golden brown.
