Tuna Melts

Sometimes simplistic is the way to go. Last night I didn't want to do anything too complicated so I make some tuna melt sandwiches, veggies, and mac and cheese (right out of a box!). They were fab!

Tuna Melts, Sydney Style:

4 slices of your favorite bread (this is for two people)
1 can of white tuna in water
1 tablespoon mayo
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices Gruyere Swiss cheese
2 tablespoon butter

1) Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread, put two of them butter side down in a skillet, add one slice of cheese to each piece of bread.
2) In a bowl, flake tuna and combine with mayo, relish, and salt and pepper, mix well. Spread on top of cheese slices in the skillet.
3) Top with the remaining slice of cheese and finish with the last slice of bread, butter side out.
4) Heat skillet over medium heat, about 2 minutes each side, or until golden brown and crispy, turning each sandwich once.

Tips for this recipe:
- serve with tomato or chicken soup to dip it in. This is so good and is the perfect comfort food as the days get cooler (for all you lucky folk where you actually HAVE cooler weather)
- Swiss and tuna are a great combination together, but you can substitute the cheese for cheddar or whatever your family prefers.
- Use a large flat spatula to turn the sandwiches to the insides don't fall out on the turn.

Enjoy!
