How to Make Kittencal's Tuna Melt Sandwich

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (5 ounce) can tuna (drained), 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons finely chopped celery, 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onions, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  3. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  4. Add seasoned salt and lemon pepper to taste. (Start with 1/4 teaspoon of each and adjust according to your preference).
  5. Place 2 slices of bread on a baking sheet. Broil for 1 minute per side, or until lightly toasted.
  6. Remove from the oven. Spread the tuna mixture evenly onto both slices of toasted bread.
  7. Top each slice with 1-2 slices of cheese (depending on your desired cheesiness), 1-2 slices of tomato, and another 1-2 slices of cheese.
  8. Return the assembled sandwiches to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
