Tuna Melts

A classic American tuna melt with creamy tuna salad and bubbly cheddar on sourdough — broiling it open-face gives more even melting than a closed grilled sandwich, and lets you watch the cheese instead of guessing.

Spread the tuna mixture generously onto the bread slices.

Top each slice with a layer of shredded cheddar.
