Tuna Melt Toastie
Classic
serves 2
This tuna melt toastie is a quick comfort-food classic: crunchy buttered bread outside, hot cheesy tuna centre inside.
It is ideal for fast lunches or easy weeknight bites, and works brilliantly with soup or salad on the side.
10 mins prep10 mins cook20 mins total
In a bowl, mix drained tuna with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, onion and sweetcorn (if using). Season with black pepper and a tiny pinch of salt if needed.
Butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side of two slices, spread the tuna mixture evenly.
Top with most of the grated cheddar, then close with the remaining bread slices, buttered sides facing out.
Heat a heavy hob frying pan over medium heat and cook the toasties for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until deep golden and crisp.
Add the remaining cheese on top for the final minute if you want extra melt, then slice and serve hot.
