Description

A California-inspired tuna melt featuring sharp white cheddar, sweet & hot mustard, and crisp Fuji apple slices for a satisfying crunch and burst of flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (165g) white chunk tuna
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) green onion, chopped
  • 1.5 tablespoons (21g) sweet & hot mustard
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 2 slices sprouted wheat bread
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) organic butter
  • 1/3 Fuji apple, thinly sliced
  • 2 slices sharp white cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Empty the can of white chunk tuna into a bowl and carefully mix in the chopped green onion, sweet & hot mustard, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Be gentle to maintain the tuna’s texture.
  2. Spread the tuna mixture evenly onto one slice of sprouted wheat bread.
  3. Top the tuna mixture with thin slices of Fuji apple and then place the slices of sharp white cheddar cheese on top.
  4. Cover with the second slice of bread to form a sandwich.
  5. Melt the organic butter on a griddle over medium-low heat.
  6. Place the sandwich on the griddle and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  7. Remove from the griddle, slice in half, and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use a sharp white cheddar for a robust flavor. The Fuji apple adds a refreshing crunch and sweetness that complements the savory tuna. If you prefer a spicier kick, add more sweet & hot mustard. This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh off the griddle. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Reheat on a griddle to maintain crispness.
