This open-faced sammie is nostalgia in a bite! The classic tuna melt was a personal childhood favorite of mine and this updated and healthified spin brings me right back. I use fiber-rich whole-grain bread, canned light tuna (canned albacore white tuna is higher in mercury) mixed with light mayo (and maybe some hot sauce for extra heat), and top it with cheese.
- Prep time
- Total Time
- • 2 pieces reduced-calorie, whole-grain bread*
- • 6 ounces canned light tuna, packed in water, drained well
- • 2 teaspoons low-fat mayonnaise

Preheat the broiler and lightly toast the bread.
Mash the tuna with the mayonnaise and onion.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly over each slice of bread and top each with 2 tomato slices, 2 onion slices, pickles, if desired, and 2 tablespoons cheese. Place back under the broiler until the cheese is hot and bubbly. Enjoy open-faced.
