Tuna Melt Toas-Tite: Boy’s Beginnings

You might of read on the About Toas-Tite Recipes page that I told Girl to put Toas-Tites on our list of things to do, if not, go check it out and see how all of this came to be.

Anyways, I figured I would put up the Toas-Tite that began my love affair with this unique gadget. My family would always make hot Tuna Melt Toas-Tites after a long day in the cold ocean and it always hit the spot.

I feel there are many ways to create a delicious Tuna melt Toas-Tite so I figure I’ll put up a few recipes and let you experiment.

Tuna Melt

Ingredients

• 2 Slices of sourdough
• Tuna
• Mustard
• Mayo
• Worcestershire Sauce
• Raw Chopped Cucumber or Chopped Celery or Chopped Sweet Pickles or Relish
• Cheese
• Salt and Pepper

Directions

1. Open can of tuna. Separate water from tuna
2. Combine tuna, salt, pepper and mayo in a bowl and mix together (see bottom for more possible options)
3. Butter one side of each of your pieces of bread and place one piece of bread buttered side down
4. Fill bread with tuna concoction and add cheese on top
5. Place the other piece of bread on top of your filling, buttered side up
6. Clamp the Toas-Tite sandwich grill and cut off the excess bread
7. Melt on!

Notes

Feel free to add all of the extra ingredients from the above list, but maybe only one helping of either the sweet pickles, cucumber, relish, or the celery. I would at least have tuna, salt, pepper mayo and one of the previously stated crunchy items but, the beauty of the Toas-Tite is to create what fits best for you and yours! Also if you use a cheese, try and stay away from cheddar as it tends to put a little more oil out as it melts. And when picking tuna, I always go for tuna canned in water, as the tuna canned in oil is just to slick of a texture for me.

Conclusion

This really is one of my favorite Toas-Tites of all time, and after a few years of dormancy Girl sparked my love for Toas-Tites all over again. Also, tomato soup is a great companion for this Toas-Tite. Luckily I met Girl who brought back my love of the Toas-Tite and all things awesome. Toast on and Enjoy!!!
