ingredients
- 4 (6 ounce) cans albacore tuna, drained well (packed in water or oil)
- 1⁄3 cup finely diced dill pickle (about 1/2 small dill pickle or 1 pickle spear)
- 1⁄3 cup finely diced red onion
- 1⁄3 cup finely diced celery
- 1 cup mayonnaise (3/4 cup if not using albacore)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 large slice rustic country bread (1/2-inch thick)
- 1 large tomatoes, cut into 8 slices
- 1⁄4 lb cheddar cheese, cut into 8 slices (medium or sharp)
directions
- Heat the broiler.
- Put the tuna in a bowl and break it up with a fork; add in the diced pickle, onions, celery, mayo, salt, and pepper; mix well.
- Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and place under the broiler; toast until the tops are light golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes (watch carefully to make sure they don't burn).
- Turn the bread over, toasted side down, and spread the tuna salad evenly on the untoasted side of each slice.
- Top each piece with 2 or 3 tomato slices, and then with 2 slices of cheese.
- Place the open-face sandwich under the broiler, heat until the cheese has melted, 2-3 minutes, and serve.
