Amorous Nerdium's Tuna Fish Salad Melts

Submitted by Amorous Nerdium

"Spicy rendition of the classic tuna fish salad sandwich covered in melted cheese. You will need a sandwich maker. It is similar to a George Foreman grill, but it is made for sandwiches. It creases the bread to keep the insides from falling out once they melt."
