Best Tuna Melt New Jersey Diner Style Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Lacrenshaw / All my dishes 9 months, 2 weeks ago COOKINGIRLLJ at allrecipes says that her"method of topping the tuna salad with cheese FIRST, then tomato and more cheese, keeps the toppings from sliding off the bread". I have not tested this theory but it sounds as though it would work! Prep:10m Cook:5m Servings:4	Lacrenshaw

I had never heard of using vinegar with a tuna salad but I am willing to try anything once. Tuna on rye has always been a favorite of mine. Thanks for you five, doll!

Not tried these with a slice of tomato. Will next time though. I also like the idea of using a slice of rye under them. Wow, the more I look at these, the hungrier I get...

Thanks.

Just made this with a couple of tweaks - delicious! Used sesame kaiser rolls, buttered lightly before toasting for a minute, used the new Olive Oil Mayo in place of the standard mayo (delish!) and after removing halves from oven, topped with a handful of the bagged tricolor coleslaw mix for some extra texture and nutrition. Mmmmmm....
