Ingredients
Tuna Melt
- 4 (4-ounce) cans oil oil-packed tuna, drained
- 2 large celery stalks, diced
- 2 pickle spears, diced
- ½ cup dill, chopped
- 1 bunch of chives, more for garnish
- 1 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapenos
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 slices of sourdough bread
- Crumbled potato chips, for serving
Mayo
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice or pickled jalapeno juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 clove of garlic, minced garlic
- ⅔ cup Clebby’s Vegetable Oil
Directions
- First, make the mayo. Add egg, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, minced garlic, and Clebby’s Vegetable Oil to a tall wide-brimmed jar. Place an immersion blender in the bottom of the jar and blend until smooth and thick.
- Add drained tuna to a bowl with thinly diced celery, diced pickles, chopped dill, chopped chives, prepared mayo, chopped pickled jalapenos, honey, and salt. Mix, mashing with a fork until well combined.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet set over medium heat. Add two slices of sourdough and cook until golden. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
- Spread an even layer of tuna salad on each slice of bread on the toasted side, and top with a sprinkle of sharp cheddar cheese.
- Reduce heat to low and add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add two tuna melts to the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook until the cheese has melted. Repeat with the remaining tuna melts.
- Top each tuna melt with a handful of crumbled potato chips and a sprinkle of chives.
