Sriracha Tuna Melt

This spicy tuna melt is one of my go-to lunches. It's a quick, easy hot sandwich with tuna, melted cheese, and sriracha chili sauce, made warm and toasty by a few minutes in the oven!

📝 Ingredients

• 4 slices bread
• 2 tablespoons softened butter
• 1 5-ounce can Chicken of the Sea® Solid White Tuna, drained well
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha (plus more for drizzling over the finished toasts)
• 2 teaspoons pickle relish (drained well)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (if needed)
• 1 cup shredded sharp or medium cheddar
• chopped fresh cilantro (optional garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Butter both sides of the bread slices and place bread on a sheet pan. The tuna mixture makes enough for four regular size open-faced tuna melts. Either butter four slices of bread and use all the tuna mixture OR butter two sliced of bread and save half the tuna mixture for later.
2. 2For the tuna salad mixture, in a small bowl stir together tuna, mayo, Sriracha, pickle relish, and black pepper. Add salt if needed.
3. 3With broiler on high, toast first side of the bread under the broiler, and then flip the bread over and very lightly toast the second side.
4. 4Remove sheet pan from oven. Top the lightly toasted side of the bread with the tuna mixture and shredded cheese. Leave the edges of the bread just slightly exposed, for additional toasting.
5. 5With the broiler on low, place sheet pan back into oven. Let the tuna salad mixture and cheese get thoroughly heated, nice and slow. Once cheese is melty, turn the broiler to high to blister the cheese just a bit, if desired. Take care to not let the bread burn.
6. 6Remove sheet pan from oven and drizzle Sriracha over the top of the finished melts. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Then enjoy while it’s hot!
