Grilled Tuna Melt: Guilt-Free Comfort Food Everyone Will Love

Grilled Tuna Melt Made Skinny

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (5 oz) can chunk white albacore tuna, packed in water, drained well
  • 1½ tablespoons light mayonnaise, I like Best Foods Light (Hellman’s)
  • 1½ tablespoons pickle relish
  • 2 sandwich thins, see shopping tips
  • 2 teaspoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light
  • 4 teaspoons spicy brown mustard or yellow mustard, or to taste
  • 2 large tomato slices
  • 4 tablespoons reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, add drained tuna, mayonnaise, and pickle relish. Mix with a fork. Blend well.
  • Spread the outside of each sandwich thin with ½ teaspoon butter. Spread the inside of each slice with mustard.
  • Divide the tuna and spread over each sandwich thin bottom, on the mustard side. Top each with 1 slice tomato. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons cheese. Place the remaining slices (mustard inside) on top to create a sandwich.
  • In a large nonstick pan, add the two sandwiches, cheese side up. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown. Using a spatula, turn each sandwich over. Flatten a little with the spatula. Cover and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden. Turn sandwiches over again and cook, uncovered about 30 seconds more, until cheese is melted.
  • Serve at once.
