A rich, buttery, golden-crisp tuna melt cooked in a pan with the filling already in place. Optionally, add a broiled cheese layer for extra indulgence. The tuna melt is an American diner classic which has been adopted by other countries including Australia and UK. It's basically a simple grilled cheese with a tuna twist. My version takes it up a notch with creamy tuna, Dijon mustard, capers, a little spinning lemon juice and melted Raclette cheese, all pan-toasted in butter until golden and crisp.
The mix of briny, tangy, and creamy flavours makes every bite rich and satisfying. Toasting the bread in butter with the filling inside locks in moisture while crisping and browning the outside, creating the perfect balance of crunch and melt.
An optional broiled cheese layer gives it that irresistible gooey topping, but that truly is an overkill and reserved for aficionado cheese lovers.ย
