Ingredients
- 12-ounces boneless, skinless fresh tuna, poached
- 1/3 cup minced red onions
- 3 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup plus extra for spreading on sandwiches, homemade mayonnaise
- 6 to 12 slices sourdough or other white bread
- 6 (1/4-inch) slices ripe tomato, lightly salted
- 6 (1-ounce) slices Muenster cheese
- 2 avocados, thinly sliced
- Crispy potato chips, for garnish
- Dill pickle spears, for garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Crumble the poached tuna into a medium mixing bowl. Add the onions, eggs, garlic, and capers. Mix thoroughly. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Stir in enough mayonnaise to moisten the salad, about 1/2 cup or according to preference.
Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise over 6 slices of bread. Top each slice with a generous 1/3 cup of the tuna mixture. Top each tuna salad with a tomato slice and a slice of cheese. Place cheese side up on a baking sheet and bake for 3 to 4 minutes or just until the cheese is melted. Top each sandwich with 3 to 4 lightly salted avocado slices and serve open-faced or top with the remaining pieces of bread.
Cut sandwiches in half diagonally and serve with crispy potato chips and dill pickle spears.

Very Moist, Not wet! Just perfect, So yummy... I didnt have the capers like others but it was great! Used diced dill pickles in the mixture was crisp and delish... cant say that enough. Also used sharp provolone worked great for our family. Thanks Emeril As always!!!

Really yummy! I loved that salty bite that came from adding those capers. I also liked the addition of hardboiled eggs. The combination of flavors married together nicely!

Just finished making these tonight and it was delish! Had to leave out capers didn't have on hand and no muenster cheese I had provolone and instead of dill pickles for garnish I had a jar of them diced and put it in the mayo mix. Didn't put them in the oven I grilled them like a cheese sandwich and they were perfect YUM!
