How to make tuna melt

2 genuinely different takes — a classic, and a faster or lighter route. The same ones the app hands you once you have decided.

In a pan, pressed

12 minutes · serves 1 · Very easy

What you need

  • 1 tin tuna, drained well
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 spring onion
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 2 slices bread
  • 60g cheddar, grated
  • Butter

What you do

  1. 1Drain the tuna properly, pressing it against the tin. Wet filling makes a soggy sandwich.
  2. 2Mix with the mayonnaise, mustard and spring onion.
  3. 3Butter the outsides of the bread, not the insides. Cheese, tuna, cheese — the cheese on both sides is the glue.
  4. 4Medium-low heat, 4 minutes a side, pressed with a spatula. Low and slow, or the cheese is still solid when the bread burns.

Open, under the grill
