When I was growing up this was a pretty common meal in the South. Of course, back then a Tuna Melt was made with white bread. Whole wheat bread really completes this recipe, bringing not just a healthier choice of bread but so much better flavor.
The choice of cheese is up to you. I’ve had Tuna Melt with Swiss, cheddar and mozzarella. Each is a little different, but they all taste great.
