Open-Faced Tuna Melt

In this updated version of the tuna melt, we go light on the mayo and top it with fresh tomato slices and feta cheese. A healthy take on a classic while ensuring that there's great flavor in every bite.

4 servings
Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces canned albacore or chunk light tuna, drained (see Note below)
  • 1 medium to large shallot, minced
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat, healthy oil based mayonnaise (i.e. Smart Balance)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Hot sauce, to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese

Preparation

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Combine tuna, shallot, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, salt, hot sauce and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Spread 1/4 cup of the tuna mixture on each slice of toast; top with tomato slices and 2 tablespoons cheese.
  • Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Note: Chunk light tuna, which comes from the smaller skipjack or yellowfin, has less mercury than canned white albacore tuna. The FDA/EPA advises that women who are or might become pregnant, nursing mothers and young children consume no more than 6 ounces of albacore a week; up to 12 ounces of canned light tuna is considered safe.
