Jalapeño Tuna Melt with Cheddar
This Jalapeño Tuna Melt with Cheddar is my spicier, crunchier take on the classic tuna melt that’s cheesy, with a little kick.
Ingredients
Serves 2 Sandwiches
The tuna salad:
- 1 Can of Albacore tuna I like to use Fishwife
- 1 tbsp diced jalapeño
- 1 tbsp chopped radish
- 1 tbsp diced red onion
- 2 tbsp whipped cream cheese
- 1 tsp kewpie mayo
- 1/2 tsp worcestershire
- 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
The rest:
- Brioche bread (or whatever bread you prefer)
- Butter for griddling
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
Instructions
The tuna salad:
- Preheat oven to broil. Combine tuna salad ingredients into a bowl until combined. Season to taste. You might want to adjust depending on how creamy or spicy you want it to be.
- Add shredded sharp cheddar cheese to two slices of brioche bread. Add to a baking sheet and broil for about 2-3 min or until cheese has melted and browned slightly. Add scoops of tuna salad to the sandwich and close.
- Melt butter in a skillet and add your melt. Cook on medium to low heat with a top until the other side of the bread is browned and cheese and tuna salad have melted together. Enjoy!
