How to Make Tuna Melt Or Salad Supreme

  1. Drain one 5 ounce can of tuna very well.
  2. (Optional) Set almost empty cans on the floor and allow pets to clean (if safe and supervised).
  3. Finely chop 1/2 cup of roasted red peppers and 1/4 cup of Kalamata olives.
  4. In a medium bowl, gently mix the drained tuna, chopped peppers, and olives with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Toast your choice of bread or muffin halves to your desired level of crispness.
  6. Preheat your broiler to high.
  7. Pile the tuna salad generously onto the toasted bread. Top with 2 slices of pepper jack cheese per serving.
  8. Place the open-faced sandwiches on a baking sheet.
  9. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  10. For a lighter alternative, skip the bread and serve the tuna salad as a dip with crackers, vegetables, or tortilla chips.
