For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the tuna salad mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as provolone or Gruyere, to customize the flavor profile of your tuna melt. If you prefer a crispier sandwich, you can pan-fry the tuna melts in a skillet with butter instead of broiling them.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven's broiler and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, chopped hard-boiled eggs, sliced olives, finely chopped celery, green onions, carrots, and Dijon mustard. Mix thoroughly until well combined. (5 minutes)
03
StepBrush one side of each sourdough bread slice with melted butter. On 6 unbuttered bread slices, layer one slice of Swiss cheese, followed by one-sixth of the tuna salad mixture, and another slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered-side up. (10 minutes)
04
StepTransfer the assembled sandwiches to the prepared baking sheet. (2 minutes)
05
StepBroil in the preheated oven until the bread is golden brown and toasted, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close watch to prevent burning, typically 3 to 5 minutes. (3-5 minutes)
