Easy-Peasy Tuna Melt - The Papa's Kitchen

  • I don't know what it's like where you are living - but South Florida in the the dead of summer can be brutally hot and humid. It tends to curb my appetite and certainly makes my desire to cook anything beyond a peanut butter and jelly sandwich a challenge. HOWEVER - I do have a simple and great tasting open-faced sandwich for you today. It's Easy-Peasy and delicious, and I know you're going to love it! I suppose if you don't like Tuna you could substitute a host of things, but if you really get yourself some really really good tuna, you would be surprised how great this is - Even if you have company. So, try it out and let me know what you think. And stay cool!!!
    Enjoy

    Hi Everyone. I hope you'll try and enjoy today's Recipe. Because so many of you have asked and have been praying, I wanted to let you know that my mother gets released to home this coming Friday. She is doing remarkably well and is exceeding all the metrics set by her physical therapists and so they will now be able to continue that at home. Obviously she is very happy. HATES their food (go figure) so I will be cooking some stuff for them for the next few weeks. Again, thanks so much for your prayers and concern - it means so much to us all!

      Praying for your Mother. Didn’t know she was in the hospital 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I’m a nurse and it would have been an honor to have cared for her. Did you say she was in her 90’s, or did I imagine that? If so, she looks amazing.

    Thirty years ago my husband and I met working at a Marie Calendars restaurant….his favorite menu item was a tuna melt that I still make today….butter sourdough bread and sprinkle with parm cheese, then place cheese down on fry pan and cook until the bread and cheese are browned….add the tuna/mayo filling….yum!!

    I came over from Sarah's channel! I always love seeing you in her videos, so I love your channel! I'm with Susan, I like onions but not the aftertaste. For all my raw onion needs I started using shallots. The actual taste is strong but there's almost no aftertaste! In tuna and chicken salads, I mince shallots really fine. Gives it just enough onion crunch and flavor! I also add Good Seasons Italian dressing. I'm not a big mayo lover, so the dressing is great for hiding the mayo taste, adding moisture and extra flavor. I always have Good Seasons in my fridge so it's convenient! I make it in the glass cruet they sell, according to the directions. You can use any oil and vinegar you like but I use regular vegetable oil and red wine vinegar. It really adds a great flavor to salads! Especially if you don't like mayo! I also "fluff" my tuna and chicken! Lol, I can't think of anything else to call it! Great video, the tuna melts look great!

    I absolutely adore tuna melts, water based tuna with a little pickle relish, some mayo (or even mustard) and of course celery, perhaps some chopped hard boiled egg. Heated with a little Kraft cheese on top briefly in the microwave. One thing I highly recommend for canned goods including tuna cans is the use of a safety hand operated can opener - the kind that rolls the edges of the can lid safely, instead of producing a sharp lid. That way when you moosh down the trash, you don't risk injury.
