Why I Love This Recipe

• Quick—Only 10 minutes from start to finish! Perfect for a busy weekday lunch, and you can even make the tuna mixture in advance, for meal prep.
• Healthy—Lots of protein and low in calorie. Use tuna packed in water. For an even healthier melt, use whole grain bread, unsaturated oil or cooking spray in place of butter, cook it open faced, with just one piece of bread and one slice of cheese on top.
• Family favorite—This is a great change from normal lunch sandwiches, and adults and kids love it!

How to Make a Tuna Melt
