Tuna Melt!

Originally this was a "Thow it together, eat it and shut up" kind of dish (thanks Jolene for the saying!). But when my exchange student, Jonas, came back the next night requesting the same thing for dinner... and then proceeded to clean his plate with a fork afterwards it made me think I may be on to something...


Here's what you'll need:
  • 2 (or 4 if your using homemade bread and the slices aren't very big, which is what happened here) slices of whole grain (preferably Ezekiel) bread.
  • 1 albacore tuna packet, drained (I use low sodium packet)
  • 2 servings Hellman's light Mayo (Light-get the one with no high fructose syrup)
  • 1/8 cup diced onion
  • tomato, sliced to your taste
  • 1 slice mozzarella cheese (should be 3g sat fat)
  1. combine the tuna, onion and mayo together in bowl and mix until well combined
  2. take your bread and lay out on the counter
  3. top with mozzarella cheese, top that with tuna mix and then top that with the tomato
  4. top with the bread and grill on a preheated skillet mozzarella cheese side down first, 3 to 4 minutes and then flip (which is not as easy as it sounds)
  5. cook the other side for a few minutes and serve!
