Tuna melts can be polarizing; you either love them or hate them. I fall into the “love them” category. I think you’re also either an open-face or grilled cheese-style tuna melt fan, and for me it’s open-faced all the way!

Yes, boring.
Delicious, quick and easy! Used Havarti cheese instead of American.
This was pretty good; I did add a little bit of thinly sliced onion and substituted dill pickle relish. Easy summertime lunch!
Delicious, the dill and the lemon give it that extra kick. This will go into the make again over and over recipes.
Excellent recipe! I bought the jarred tuna, delicious, although the recipe would definitely work with canned/pouch tuna. I was hesitant on the dill, but it was perfect! I did not add salt to the tuna mixture because of the relish and jarred tuna. I did do the salt over the tomatoes. I also used the thick slice American cheese (Kraft deli slice), melted nicely. It was just a solid, good dinner. Oh, and I bought the Bays English muffins in the refrigerator section, really nice surface for the sandwich.
This recipe was great! Loved the bright fresh flavor of the dill and parsley. It had just the right ratio of onion and celery so they didn’t overwhelm the tuna. This is a keeper for sure!
Thank you Katie, Great summer meal can’t have tomato’s darn, however topped with avocado and then the cheese. Served with watermelon slices and little chips on the side. Can’t wait to make it again!
So easy and delicious!
I just made this and it was fantastic!! Tasty, toasty and fabulous. I was working in the garden and it it was so nice easy. Thanks Katie
Made exactly per instructions, but heated the tuna mixture before applying it to the toasted english muffins! Even my 3 yr old ate it!
