One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever made - the Ultimate Tuna Melt! This sandwich has it all: Creamy tuna with a bit of sweetness and crunch from the apple, plenty of melted cheese, all topped with a delicious combination of avocado, mango, and pepperoncini. I used smoked tuna, but you could definitely try it with baked, grilled, or even canned tuna.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked, flaked tuna (fresh grilled/smoked tuna is great but canned works as well!)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup yellow mustard
- 2-3 tbsp capers
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Chili powder, to taste
- ½ apple, peeled, cored, diced
- Sliced cheddar and provolone cheese
- Butter
- 1 avocado, peeled and sliced
- 1 mango, peeled and sliced
- Sliced pepperoncini
- Sliced sourdough or bread of your choice
Tools
Directions
- Combine the tuna, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, capers, salt, pepper, and chili powder in a large bowl and mix until well combined.
- Stir in the chopped apple.
- Spread the mixture onto your sliced bread and top with two slices each of cheddar and provolone.
- Place in a preheated cast iron skillet with a bit of butter to melt the cheeses.
- Remove from the skillet once the cheese has melted and the tuna has heated through.
- Top with sliced avocado, mango, and pepperoncini. Season to taste with a dash of chili powder.
- Add a slice of toasted sourdough on top and dig in!
