Tuna and Apple Sandwich Melts

Tuna and Apple Melts

Notes/Suggestions:  Omit the cheese and make a sandwich between two pieces of bread or serve with crackers on the side.

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 large cans of tuna, drained (your choice)
  • 1 small red apple, cored and finely chopped
  • 2 stalk celery, finely chopped
  • 2 scallions, finely chopped (white and light green parts only
  • 6 slice of whole wheat or multi-grain bread (rye bread is good too, but not too many kids like it)
  • 6 slices of medium cheddar, Swiss or gruyere cheese

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine well, the mayo, mustard and lemon juice.
  2. In a medium bowl, using a fork, break apart the tuna into flakes. Add the apple, celery and onion and mix. Add the mayo mixture and fold in gently until well combined
  3. Lay the slices of bread onto a broiler pan. Equally divide the tuna mixture among the bread spreading it evenly. Place one piece of cheese on top of each combination and broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
