Jalepeno Tuna Melts

Drain your tuna and shred it in a small bowl. Add the jalepeno, mayonnaise, and mustard. Mix to combine.

Heat a medium-sized pan on medium/low heat. Take a slice of bread and place a slice of cheese on it. Spoon about 1/2 a cup of the tuna mixture on the cheese and spread evenly. Top with another slice of cheese and place a second slice of bread on top. Build the rest of your sandwiches as described above.

Place 1 tablespoon of butter into the pan to melt. Place a sandwich in the buttered pan to brown. Cook covered for about 2 1/2 minutes. Once browned on that side, lift it out with a spatula and place another tablespoon of butter to melt in the pan. Flip the sandwich and allow it to brown for 2 1/2 minutes on the other side, covered. Cook the rest of your sandwiches as described above.

Watch your sandwiches, so they don’t burn. Lower the heat if you find they are browning too quickly. Adjust cooking time accordingly.

You may choose to partially or wholly remove the jalepeno seeds when dicing.

Enjoy!
