A delicious and easy-to-make tuna melt sandwich, perfect for lunch or a quick dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces canned albacore white tuna, packed in water, drained
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise, more to taste (or substitute half mayo, half plain Greek yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- pinch dried oregano
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices thick cut white sandwich bread
- 4 slices cheese, cheddar, provolone, swiss, or your fav kind

Instructions
- Season tuna: In a medium bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, onion, lemon juice, and oregano and stir until thoroughly combined. Add more mayo if you want the mixture wetter. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Assemble: Butter outsides of bread slices. Layer tuna mixture on the inside portion of the bread. Add cheese, desired toppings, then another piece of cheese and top with bread.
