Mary Pat’s Tuna Melt

by

Description

This sandwich gets a crunchy finish with chips embedded into the bread. I use very special potato chips that were sent to me from Pennsylvania by my dear friend, MP. But if you can’t find Utz®, your favorite chip will work just fine. Serve with more chips and pickles.

Ingredients

  • 1 (5 ounce) can olive-oil packed tuna, undrained
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 dill pickle, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion

  • 4 slices Irish Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons whipped cream cheese, divided
  • 1 cup coarsely crushed potato chips (such as Utz®)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, divided

Instructions

  4. Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese on each of the remaining 2 slices of bread. Place on top of the Cheddar cheese.
  5. Place crushed chips in a shallow bowl. Spread top side of each tuna melt with 1 1/2 teaspoon mayonnaise and press into the chips. Repeat on other side.
