Tuna Melt

Ingredients

• oil-packed tuna (1 jar)
• finely diced celery (2 tablespoons)
• minced green onion (1 tablespoon)
• capers (2 teaspoons)
• mayonnaise (2 tablespoons)
• Asian chile paste (1 teaspoon)
• fresh mozzarella cheese (0.33333334 cup)
• butter (2 tablespoons)
• French bread (2 thick slices)
• shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese (0.25 cup)
• cayenne pepper (1 pinch)

Instructions

1. Place tuna into a mixing bowl and lightly break it apart with a fork. Add celery, green onion, capers, mayonnaise, and chile paste. Pinch in small pieces mozzarella and stir to mix. Season with salt and black pepper; refrigerate tuna salad until needed.
2. Preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3. Spread butter generously on both sides of French bread slices.
4. Broil buttered bread until golden brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip bread slices and broil other side until toasted, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from the oven and turn bread slices over on the baking sheet so the darkest sides are on the bottom.
5. Gently spread tuna salad onto bread slices using 2 forks. Press the salad onto the bread and spread tuna all the way to the edges of the bread. Spread shredded Cheddar over each sandwich. Dust tops with cayenne pepper.
6. Place sandwiches under the broiler and cook until cheese is melted and bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes.
