Step-by-step
- Open the tuna can and release its contents into a small bowl.
- In the same bowl, combine the sweet pickle relish, Old Bay seasoning, onion powder, Creole seasoning, yellow mustard, lemon juice, and mayonnaise.
- Use a fork to blend the ingredients thoroughly.
- Activate a skillet over low heat.
- Generously apply garlic spread to a slice of bread.
- Place the buttered slice of bread onto the preheated skillet.
- Top the buttered bread with a piece of cheese, mirroring the construction of a grilled cheese sandwich.
- Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 to create the second sandwich.
- Butter the remaining two slices of bread and position them atop the other bread and cheese slices, butter-side up.
- Flip the sandwich when the bottom slice acquires a golden-brown hue.
- Allow a few more minutes of cooking time.
- Remove the sandwich from the skillet once the bottom slice achieves golden-brown coloration.
- Separate the sandwiches, tackling one at a time.
- Transfer half of the mixture prepared in steps 1-3 to each sandwich and reassemble them.
- Repeat step 14 for the second sandwich.
As a working mother, I'm always on the lookout for quick and easy meals that my family will enjoy. This tuna melt recipe is a lifesaver because it checks all the boxes. It's incredibly flavorful, packed with protein, and can be ready in just a few minutes.
The combination of garlic, tuna, and cheese is a match made in heaven. The garlic spread adds a savory richness that complements the mild flavor of the tuna and the gooey melted cheese brings it all together. I especially love the addition of the creole seasoning, which gives the sandwich a subtle kick.
