Tuna melts can be polarizing; you either love them or hate them. I fall into the “love them” category. I think you’re also either an open-face or grilled cheese-style tuna melt fan, and for me it’s open-faced all the way!

Ingredients

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon minced fresh dill

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

One 7-ounce jar tuna in oil, drained very well

2 English muffins, split

4 slices tomato

4 slices American cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, relish and mustard, then season with salt and pepper. Add the tuna and gently mix with a fork.
  3. Place the English muffin halves on a baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oven. Top each English muffin with a slice of tomato. Sprinkle with salt. Add a scoop of tuna to each, then top each with a slice of cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes.
