Description
my tuna melt open faced sandwich is piled onto a piece of toasted garlic bread and dripping with a blend of melted Cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. It’s topped off with a thin slice of gorgeous garden tomato, some coarse salt, cracked pepper and minced parsley. Absolute heaven!

Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 slices Texas Toast
- 4 Tablespoons garlic butter
- 2 cups tuna salad
- 1 1/3 cups grated cheese (I mix extra sharp Cheddar & Monterey Jack.)
- 1 large tomato, sliced into 8 thin slices
Instructions
- Preheat your oven, toaster oven or air fryer to 425°.
- Butter both sides of each slice of bread with Garlic Herb Butter. Place the buttered bread on the rack in a broiler pan or on a rack in a baking sheet.
- Toast the bread on one side, then flip the bread and toast it on the other side. Use the device that works best for you.
- Remove toast from oven and add 1/2 cup tuna salad to each slice. Spread the tuna salad to the edges of your Tuna Melt Open Face Sandwiches.
- Next pile 1/4 to 1/3 cup of grated cheese over the tuna on each tuna melt.
- Place the tuna melt open face sandwiches back in the oven, toaster oven or air fryer. Continue cooking at 425° until the cheese is melted and drippy.
- Remove the tuna sandwiches from the oven and place a thin slice of tomato on top of the melting cheese.
- Garnish with minced parsley, coarse or flaked salt and fresh ground black pepper.
