Recipe FAQs

The story goes that the tuna melt got its name in the 1960’s when a cook at the Woolworth’s lunch counter accidentally dropped tuna salad on a grilled cheese sandwich. The name is also a nod to its melted, cheesy consistency.

Tuna melts are delicious on their own, but if you want to round out your lunch, adding a side salad or some coleslaw will turn a satisfying lunch into a complete meal. For a more decadent choice, nestle it next to some hot chips or wedges. You can also experiment with different toppings, adding lettuce, onions or different types of cheese.

While cheddar cheese is a classic choice, tuna also goes well with soft cheeses like mozzarella or burrata. For a mild choice that’s also easy to melt, try havarti, provolone, or Swiss cheese.
