Ingredients

  • 6 slices of white bread
  • 2 cans of drained tuna, each weighing 5 ounces
  • Approximately 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, adjust to your preference
  • 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon of finely chopped lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon of finely chopped dill
  • Thinly sliced one large tomato
  • 6 slices of Swiss cheese

Step 1

Position the oven rack approximately 6 inches away from the heat source and let the oven's broiler preheat. Lay out the bread in a nice, even layer on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Gently toast the bread on each side in the preheated oven for roughly a minute per side.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna, mayonnaise, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and a touch of dill. Spread this flavorful tuna mixture generously on each slice of bread. Place the tomato slices on top of the tuna mixture and then add a layer of Swiss cheese.

Step 4

Put the baking sheet back in the oven and broil until the cheese is beautifully melted, usually around 3 to 5 minutes.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your pantry stocked with canned tuna for a quick and easy meal option.
  2. 2. Store fresh lemons in a cool, dry place to maintain their tangy flavor.
  3. 3. Keep dill fresh by wrapping it in a damp paper towel and storing it in the fridge.
