I made these with toasted baquette and chives in place of scallions. I also cut back on the mayo a bit. They made for a great lunch with a salad and sliced oranges. Thanks! [Made for the I Recommend Tag]

Other than I used salmon as we don't care for tuna I made as directed though I think I would cut back on the mayo as it was a little sloppy but the DM and I were absolutely chockas on 1 1/2 slices each and thoroughly enjoyed every bite. Thank you WaterMelon, made for ZAAR Chef Alphabet Soup.

This made a quick easy after golf lunch using things I had on hand. In place of the tuna I used a small can of salmon flavoured with red onion & tomato (95g can). This worked well and will certainly make again. Into the 'keepers' file for this one:)

I enjoyed this. I left out the scallions, used regular white bread, and used sweet paprika cause that is what I had on hand. Thank you for posting this. I searched through maybe 15 pages of tuna melt and similar sort of recipes and I thought this one was the best. Simple and delicious.
