Jersey Style Tuna Melt

:

Ingredients for 4 sandwiches:

  • 2-3 (6 ounce) cans solid white tuna in water, drained
  • approx. 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (I used 1/4 tbsp. b/c we arent fans of parsley)
  • 3/4 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 4 slices seedless rye bread
  • 8 slices ripe tomato
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese
  • optional: paprika, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven broiler.
  2. In a bowl, mix the tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, parsley, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the rye bread slices on a baking sheet, and broil 1 minute in the preheated oven, until lightly toasted. Remove from heat, and spread with the tuna salad. Place 1 cheese slice over the tuna salad on each piece of bread, layer with a tomato slice, and top with remaining cheese slices.
  4. Return layered bread to the preheated oven, and broil 3 to 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.
