Open Face Tuna Melts Make a Fun Meatless Meal

August 2, 2020 Filed Under: Meatless Main Courses

Open Face Tuna Melts are a simple meatless sandwich that is great for lunch or dinner.

This is a “Daddy is working tonight” special dinner that my son and I enjoy quite often when his tuna hating father has a night class. He used to call them “tuna AND melts” when he was little, and the name has stuck in our house.

I make them just like my mom used to make, open faced with mayo and curry powder. And while I will put the mixture on any bread we have in the house, I always remember her making them on English muffins.

This is a fabulous I don’t wanna cook meal. Just mix up the tuna with mayo, curry and cheese; spread it on the bread, add a little more cheese and throw them under the broiler.

    My husband always has his tuna melts on an English muffin but I make mine on bread. I really should go with the muffin because I love them. Yum!

    I adore tuna melts! And if I go full keto again, they might even be enough to make the low carb bread I don’t love taste good!
