Tuna salad, cheddar cheese and sourdough bread (three of the best foods in life) come together in a single sandwich. For a more luxurious version, substitute fresh or canned crab meat for the tuna. Serve with potato salad or coleslaw.
Preheat a broiler (griller). In a bowl, combine the tuna, celery, parsley, pickle relish, lemon juice and mayonnaise. Toss with a fork until well mixed. Place the bread slices on a broiler pan. Divide the tuna mixture evenly among them, mounding it slightly. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the tuna mixture. Place under the broiler and broil (grill) until the tops just begin to bubble and are golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Watch carefully or the cheese may brown too much. Transfer
to individual plates and garnish with a lemon wedge and a parsley
sprig. Serve immediately. Serves 4. |
