Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    I heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once warm, I place the sandwiches in the pan. I cook each side for about 3–4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. I flip carefully to toast both sides evenly.

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

If you want to enjoy a leftover tuna melt, I re-toast it in a skillet or oven rather than the microwave. This keeps the bread crisp and the cheese melty.
