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.

TUNA MELT
Legend has it that the tuna melt was accidentally invented in the 1960s at the Woolworth's lunch counter in Charleston, S.C., when the cook didn't notice that a bowl of tuna salad had tipped over onto a grilled cheese. We may never know if this story is true, but there's no doubt that the tuna melt has become a classic American diner food. This recipe adds chopped cornichons and whole-grain mustard for a satisfying crunch and vinegary element. Extra-sharp Cheddar is a must, and as with grilled cheese, the key to achieving perfectly melted cheese and golden bread is to toast the sandwich over medium-low heat. If you prefer an open-face tuna melt, skip the top piece of bread and place the sandwich on a sheet pan under the broiler until the cheese melts.

Steps:
- Place the tuna in a medium bowl and flake with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, cornichons, red onion, lemon juice, dill (if using), mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Depending on the size of your bread, spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup tuna salad on each of four slices of bread, heaping it in the middle slightly. Divide the cheese among the sandwiches, tearing and arranging the cheese to fit neatly. Place a piece of bread on top of each and generously spread the top piece of each sandwich with about 1/2 tablespoon butter.
- Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-low. Place two sandwiches, buttered-side down, in the skillet, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottom pieces of bread are golden brown.
- Meanwhile, spread the top of the each sandwich with another 1/2 tablespoon butter. Carefully flip the sandwiches, turn the heat to low, and cook for 3 to 4 more minutes, until the bottoms are browned and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining two sandwiches and serve immediately.
BAKED TUNA WITH BISCUITS
The original recipe appeared in Our Best Recipes, published in 1978 to compile the previous year's Southern Living recipes. My Best Production of 1978 called tonight to ask me to dig up this recipe for him. Even as a picky toddler, he loved it.

Steps:
- Make traditional white sauce: melt butter in saucepan over low/medium to medium heat. Add flour and stir for a minute or two until mixture bubbles. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Continue to stir as the sauce heats up, thickens and reaches a slow boil. Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper.
- Combine white sauce, tuna and onion and spoon into a lightly greased two-quart casserole or baking dish. Top with shredded cheese. Arrange biscuits on top and bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
- *For two people, the recipe can be halved; use a small can of refrigerated biscuits (5-6 biscuits.) *Original recipe called for chopped green pepper, which would have been greeted at my house with the enthusiasm level generally reserved for brussels sprouts or Black Plague. Add it if you did a better job raising your children than I did. And cut down on the onion and finely chop it to conceal it from the suspicious eyes of finicky children (or their father.).
