AHI TUNA MELT
Steps:
- In a bowl, stir together the thyme, garlic powder, 4 tablespoons of the cayenne, 3 tablespoons of the seafood seasoning and 2 tablespoons salt. Slice the tuna and coat on both sides with the spice mixture. Set aside to let the spices soak in.
- Place the egg whites in a blender and add the cream of tartar, vinegar, mustard, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar and the remaining 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning. Blend at high speed while slowly pouring in the oil. Once thickened, add the pickles and the remaining 4 tablespoons cayenne and blend. Place in a bowl, cover and chill.
- Add the butter to a large skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the onions, Worcestershire and the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are slightly wilted down.
- Prepare a grill or grill pan for cooking over medium-high heat and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spread the Creole mayo remoulade on the bread slices.
- Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the tuna for 1 minute per side, then remove to a baking sheet. Layer the Jack cheese and Swiss cheese on 4 of the bread slices, over the remoulade, and top with the cooked onions. Arrange the tuna on top of the onions, then close the bread to make sandwiches. Bake the sandwiches to melt the cheese, 8 minutes. Serve immediately.

While the soup simmers, assemble tasty Mozzarella Tuna Melts. Using a mini food processor to chop the celery and onion for the filling helps shave preparation time. Then just pop the sandwiches in the oven.

HOW TO MAKE A TUNA MELT
This is dedicated to all those chefs who tell you to never, ever mix fish and cheese together; and yet there they are, at the diner at 2:00 in the morning. And you know what they eat? Tuna melts. And the reason they do is because it is delicious.

Steps:
- Place tuna into a mixing bowl and lightly break apart with a fork. Add green onion, celery, capers, chile paste, and mayonnaise. Pinch small pieces from mozzarella cheese into the tuna salad and stir to mix. Season with salt and black pepper; refrigerate tuna salad until needed.
- Heat oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Spread butter generously on both sides of French bread slices.
- Broil buttered bread until golden brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip bread slices and broil other side until toasted, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from oven and turn bread slices over on the baking sheet so the darkest sides are on the bottom.
- Gently spread tuna salad onto bread slices using 2 forks. Press the salad onto the bread and spread tuna all the way to the edges of the bread. Spread shredded sharp Cheddar over each sandwich. Dust tops with cayenne pepper.
- Place sandwiches under broiler and cook until cheese is melted and bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes.

OPEN-FACED TUNA MELT SANDWICH
To take a tuna melt from good to great, it has to have all the right components. In other words, plain mayo alone won't cut it. Here's how we do it: open-faced with crusty toasted bread, melty cheese, capers, cornichons, Dijon mustard, and plenty of seasoning. On a chilly fall day, nothing tastes better.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250° while mixing the filling.
- Combine all ingreds [except hot dog buns!] in a bowl. Mix lightly.
- Split buns, and fill them with the tuna mixture.
- If you buy your hot dog buns in a box, return the filled buns to the box in which they came. OR, wrap each filled bun in aluminum foil. Wrap kind of loosely, so the filling doesn't stick to the foil. You can wrap them all in one huge piece of foil, if that's the way you prefer to do it.
- Place boxed or foil-wrapped buns in the oven at 250°. Cook for about 30 minutes, until filling is hot, and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Serve right away, while hot.

ORIGINAL TUNA MELTS
Long before Tuna Melts, in their many variations, became standard on every menu, my mother discovered this 1950's recipe. We grew up having these kid-friendly rolls on Friday nights when, as Catholics, we were forbidden meat. Served in corn-on-the-cob dishes with a side of french fries and a salad, Mom was out of the kitchen in under 45 minutes and we kids were in hog heaven!

BEST TUNA MELTS EVER
This tuna melt recipe is made from my tuna salad recipe. It is lower in fat and absolutely delicious. The key is to toast the bread first! (And the spices help). It is my own creation, and I do not usually use a recipe - I am sharing this with you now, in hopes that you'll love it as much as my friends & I do! YUM! NOTE: You can use premium tuna or not - I usually use the cheaper stuff for the tuna melts & save the Albacore for the pasta salads.
