Spicy Tuna Melt Sandwich

Spicy Tuna Melt Sandwich

This spicy tuna melt sandwich combines flaky tuna, creamy mayo, jalapeños, and sharp cheddar for a quick hot lunch with proper crunch and heat.

It is ideal for a fast single-serve meal, but can be scaled easily. Toast until deeply golden so the cheese fully melts and the filling stays rich and savoury.

Method

10m8m18m
  1. In a bowl, mix the tinned tuna, mayonnaise, jalapeños, red onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Spread the tuna mixture on one slice of bread and sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese.
  3. Top with the second slice of bread and toast in a sandwich maker or skillet until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
  4. Cut diagonally and serve hot.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (145g) Tinned Tuna drained
  • 1 tbsp Jalapeños finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Red Onion finely chopped
  • 2 slices Sliced Bread
  • Salt, to taste
  • 50g Cheddar Cheese grated
  • 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Notes

Adjust jalapeños to your heat preference; add a squeeze of lemon for brightness if desired.
Press gently while toasting so the bread crisps evenly and the cheese melts through.
