Preheat the oven to 180 C. In a bowl,
combine first 6 ingredients:
combine the celery, cheddar cheese, canned tuna,
onion, yoghurt and salt in a bowl.
-
Next, spread the butter over
the cut sides of the buns and then divide the tuna salad
evenly over the bun bottoms. Replace the bun tops, then
wrap the sandwiches in foil. .
-
Bake until cheese is melted,
about 15 minutes
-
Variations:
change the cheese: While cheddar cheese
is our go-to for this recipe, any one of Swiss,
mozzarella, fontina would all
work well ·
-
Add herbs and spices:
basil, parsley, garlic powder & celery seeds. Squeeze in some lemon
juice: If you want to add a bit of brightness a
bit of fresh lemon juice or zest is lovely.
Swap the rolls for other bread: rye,
whole wheat, sourdough or a ciabatta rolls.Top with
A few slices of ripe tomato. Make the
tuna spicy: add a few dashes of Tabasco or
cayenne pepper or shiracha to the tuna salad.

How to Store a Tuna
Melt Tuna melts taste best the day they are made.
However, leftovers may be wrapped in foil and stored for
up to two days in the fridge. To reheat, warm in a
(180C) oven until heated through. We don’t recommend
microwaving tuna melts because the buns will likely become
soggy.
