Tuna Melt Sandwich Supreme

Click on Photo To Enlarge

There are tuna melts and then there are tuna melts and this one was off the chain.


2 Slices of quality bread (I used Pepperidge Farm Sourdough)    
2 Slices premium crispy bacon
1 1/2 slices of American cheese
Thinly sliced tomatoes seeds removed
Gulden's Spicy Brown Mustard
Dill pickle slices
Capers

The Tuna:  

Kirkland (Costco) solid white canned tuna (Albacore) in water
1/2 lemon
1 Tbsp diced onion
2 Tbsp diced celery

Spread the tuna in a piece of toasted bread, scatter the bacon on top as well as the pickle slices and a few dollops of mustard (maybe fewer than pictured). Make sure that all of the bread is covered with the tuna mix otherwise the bread will burn. 

Place under broiler (second rack from the top) to heat/warm the tuna, etc.


Remove and add the tomatoes and put back in the oven to heat/warm the tomatoes

Remove once again when the tomatoes are warmed and add the cheese returning it to oven...turn off the oven and pop another slice of bread in the toaster 

Remove the sandwich from the oven, spread some mayo on the bottom side of the remaining piece of toast to complete your sandwich.  Enjoy! 

Note: The next time I'll strategically place a few whole capers on top to the tuna like I did here with the mustard and bacon.
