Total Time30 mins
Course: Main Courses, quick and easy
Cuisine: American
Keyword: tuna, tuna melt
Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cans of high quality tuna-Cento is a good brand
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 2 stalks of celery chopped finely
  • 1/4 cup of red onion chopped finely
  • 1 large kosher dill pickle chopped finely
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoon fresh dill-chopped finely
  • 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley-chopped finely
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped-finely
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 to mato sliced
  • 1/2 cup grated Munster cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Swiss Emmental cheese

Instructions

  • Mix the tuna, mayonnaise, mustard, fresh herbs, red onion, celery and pickles together. Then add in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. If its to your liking season wise time for the next step!
  • Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet or if you have one a griddle! Swirl the butter around on medium heat and then lay your bread down in the griddle. Allow it to slowly brown and get crispy, about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, flip the bread and add the 2 additional tablespoons of butter for the other side. The side you just toasted is for the inside of the sandwich to keep it from gets soggy and to make sure the cheese gets nice and melty.
  • After flipping, add the mix of muster and Swiss Emmental grated cheese to 2 of the 4 slices of bread. Add the tuna mixture to the other 2 slides of bread and allow them to slowly heat up. This is key for making sure the bread doesn’t burn but it gets nice and hot and most of all crispy! Gotta get that crunch!
  • After about 5 minutes on medium low heat, add the slices of tomato to the sides with the tuna and quickly flip the cheese side onto the other piece with the tuna and tomato.
  • Continue to flip the sandwiches until they are nice and a deep golden brown on each side and the center is hot and cheesy!
  • Take of the griddle and cut in half and enjoy this simple classic!!

•**SAVE THIS POST**!
Remember those moody aromatic beans I made last week? Well here’s a recipe using them! It’s a cold and rainy in LA so I figured it was the perfect time to share this cozy dish. You could enjoy it as a stew or as an appetizer!
•
✨Garlicky Roasted Tomato & White Beans✨:
6-8 cocktail tomatoes (cocktail tomatoes are larger than cherry tomatoes but smaller than normal tomatoes. You can find them at any grocery store!) 
¾ cup olive oil
4 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2-3 cups cooked or drained canned white beans **(I used my brothy white beans so there was more liquid! If using canned, feel free to add 2-3 cups of water or chicken broth! If the beans are fresh use 1-2 cups of the broth!)
1 whole lemon peeled and cut into small pieces
Lemon zest ( zest the lemon before peeling)
½ cup parmesan cheese
4-6 anchovies
1 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Toast for dipping
•
Heat oven to 400º. In a baking dish, add the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic cloves and salt.
•
Roast the tomatoes for 35-40 minutes then allow them to cool for 10 minutes. 
•
Place a large saucepan or a @lecreuset Dutch oven on medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil from the tomatoes and the 4 cloves of garlic. Save the rest of the oil for another time or drizzling at the end!
•
Using a wooden spoon, smash the garlic into the pan. Then add in the anchovies and chili flakes  and crush them using the wooden spoon. They should gently melt into the olive oil.
•
Once anchovies have incorporated into the olive oil, add the roasted tomatoes. Crush the tomatoes.
•
Next add in the white beans, broth, the whole lemon and half of the parmesan cheese. Stir together and then place back into the oven at 350º for 20 minutes. I actually poured my beans back into a baking dish to make it a fun snack for MJ and me! 
•
Pull the beans out of the oven and top with the remaining Parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Drizzle a little of the tomato garlic olive oil on top to be EXTRA ~~!
•
Serve with crispy bread for dipping!

It’s been awhile since I checked in so I just wanted to say hello! 2021 feels like it’s finally starting to get into the swing of things and I feel really good about this new year ✨.

If you’re new, I’m Emily! I love cooking and helping others in the kitchen. I created my own line of authentic spice blends to assist the everyday cook in their kitchen and bring some boldness to their food! I have a passion for home entertaining and just creating a really lovely space in the place you spend the most time. I feel like food and cooking is so connected to your love for others, treating your home as a little sanctuary and making a wonderful life for yourself and the people around you. I have to admit... I REALLY miss throwing parties, hosting and making lots of food for lots of people! 🤞🏼 we can get back to that in 2021! Until then, I’m really enjoying my current company: 🧔🏽MJ, 🐶 Nala and Lucy 🐾 .

🦋In the next few weeks I’ll be rolling out some more fun additions to help make our homes feel even 🥧cozier, spicier✨ and more 💐beautiful!

How it’s started👉🏼How it’s going! Things are moving along nicely! So far we’ve: removed the countertops, backsplash, sink, faucet, microwave and cabinets! The new farmhouse sink is going in today and then hopefully backsplash will start moving in... but surprise! We’re picking ANOTHER backsplash (hopefully today). The goal is to have the kitchen done in 2ish weeks. Ambitious... but I think we could still do it!
•
More today on backsplash tile!

That even as we tired, we tried that will forever be tied together victorious. Not because we will never again know defeat, but because we will never again sow division.”💛

Today I feel as if we have turned a new leaf. One of hope, aspiration, compassion and unity. We watched Madame Vice President, Kamala Harris being sworn in as our first female, black and south Asian VP. We watched previous presidents and former VP Mike Pence usher a peaceful transition of power. We watched @amandascgorman speak wisely and empathetically beyond her years. And finally we watched the clouds part and and the sun shine on President Joe Biden as he became our new leader and commander in chief. He spoke about being a president to all- and sharing that his entire ♥️ heart is in this for us.
•
I feel happiness. Love! Patriotism and HOPE! That even as we grieved, hurt and tired... we grew, we hoped and we tried. I am proud to be an American 🇺🇸 today!
