Part 5/6:
Assembling Your Melt: Spread the tuna salad generously on one slice of bread. Place cheese on both slices if you're following traditional methods (while some prefer placing it only on one side).
Broiling: Place the assembled sandwich under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is gooey and melty. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
Serving
Once your melt is ready, serve it warm with a sauce on the side or lettuce for added crunch. Consider a fresh slice of tomato to enhance flavor without breaking the ‘cheese not touching tomato’ rule—this prevents it from sliding out when you take a big bite.
