Ingredients

4 slices whole-wheat bread
2 6-ounce cans chunk light tuna (see Ingredient note), drained
1 medium shallot, minced (2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice juice
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash of hot sauce, such as
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat the broiler.

Toast bread in a toaster.

Combine tuna, shallot, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, salt, hot sauce and pepper in a medium bowl. Spread 1/4 cup of the tuna mixture on each slice of toast; top with tomato slices and 2 tablespoons cheese. Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Ingredient note: Canned white tuna comes from the large albacore and can be high in mercury content. Chunk light, on the other hand, which comes from smaller fish, skipjack or yellowfin, is best for health-conscious eaters. According to a recent study, canned white tuna samples averaged about 315 percent more mercury than chunk light tuna samples.

Very good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used pepper jack cheese because I was out of cheddar. It gave it a nice punch. I love the roasted taste of the cheese and... tomatoes. It doesn't taste healthy and is very simple and quick to make.Read more

YUM!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I really like this recipe. The tuna is not a heavy taste and the tomatoes have a roasted texture and taste. Next time I might... try a different cheese just to mix it up. I would also recommend not over toasting the bread in the toasting because some toasting does happen in the oven and I ended up with burnt crust in some spotsRead more
