    I am a big fan of this Tuna Melt recipe. Just a few simple ingredients create such a wonderful flavor, and the crunchy, buttery bread makes everything even better. So check if you have some canned tuna stashed in your pantry and then give this tasty sandwich a try.

    WHAT MAKES THIS TUNA MELT RECIPE SPECIAL?

    You'll absolutely love the addition of capers and Parmesan cheese to this sandwich! These flavors work really well together. Also browning the buttered bread on both sides, before the topping is added, gives this Tuna Melt Sandwich an extra crunch.

    WHAT KIND OF CHEESE IS BEST FOR TUNA MELT SANDWICH?

    Great question! I always recommend using YOUR FAVORITE cheese to top the sandwich. Do you have a kind you LOVE? If not, Cheddar, Gouda, Asiago, Provolone and Mozzarella wil get the job done well. Check this article for more information: The Best Cheeses For Melting.

    HOW TO MAKE A TUNA MELT SANDWICH

    1. Butter the bread on both sides and fry each side in a skillet until golden brown. Set aside.
