No Trouble Tuna Melt

Had this at a friends house and think it is the best ever. No mess and easy to make.

• Serves: 5

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons mayonnaise

Directions

1. Arrange bread on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in a preheated 450F oven until just barely browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 400°F
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine tuna (olive oil as well), onion, roasted red pepper, celery, and pickles. Mix well. In a small bowl, whisk together mustard and mayonnaise, then mix into tuna.
