This was so good. I made it with a regular baguette and I used swiss cheese instead of provolone and dried oregano instead of rosemary, but I am sure it is great the original way. This is great for a little party snack.

My husband always requests these. Except I don’t always have fancy bread around so I make them like grilled cheese. I use regular sandwhich bread, butter one side and grill it in a skillet. They still taste really good this way but I’m sure even better when you have the right bread.

It was good, thanks for the recipe.

super yummy! I used sourdough bread as well and added some garlic for more flavor…it’s always nice to try something new with canned tuna

I made these as regular size sandwiches and they were absolutely fantastic. I placed mine with the cheese on fresh wheat sour dough bread, which complimented the herb flavored tuna perfectly. I then pressed in a panini grill, which made it the perfect lunch. So awesome. Thanks so much!

These sandwiches are cute, delicious, quick and easy. I served them with potato salad. An excellent recipe – I will definitely make again! I made the recipe exactly as written except I substituted the shallots for green onions. Thanks, Rachael!

My kids love this. I used regular tuna and just added a little EVOO. I also paired with another Rachael recipefor a well rounded meal “My Mamma’s Tomato Bean Stoup” http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/my-moms-tomato-and-bean-15-minute-stoup-recipe/index.html . Go easy on the red pepper if you’re serving kids.

Rachael — a meal in 30 minutes — I LOVE YOU!!!

I made this recipe on whole grain white bread with alpine lace and added a few capers to the existing recipe. Grilled it on the george foreman grill and it was delicious!!!!!!!!!! My first tuna sandwich without mayo and I didn’t miss it.

I totally loved this recipe, my kids ate it all too. I’ve never had tuna without mayo and I loved it and I did try it with the cooking spray too and it worked well. I also put a little jalapeno into my husband and my sandwich and it gave it just a little kick but was very good as well. 🙂

I could only get Tuna in Safflower oil, which worked fine. Added a little celery salt and cooked the sammy’s on my George Foreman grill. Perfection plus! Served with coleslaw and bread and butter pickles. I have never had tuna without mayo, but did not miss it one bit.
