Simply fabulous. I’ve made this now two times. It is a very quick fresh Mediterranean on the fly dish. This time I served it with roasted red peppers on the side, which I highly recommend.

I wasn't sure how all these ingredients would meld together, but this melt is outstanding! It has become a family favorite.

This is the best tuna melt I have ever made, all the flavors work so good together. I added some sliced artichoke hearts and served it on a Mediterranean olive bread.
Delicious!

I made this today for lunch and it was fabulous! Only thing I did differently was to add mustard. Thanks Cynthia! Regards, nt

Boulangere, you are the queen of tinned tuna (in olive oil). My husband declared this the best sandwich I ever made.

Oh, I love it! I'm so glad you both enjoyed it so much. I make it often, and love it every time. Thank you very much.

I'm sold... This was the best tuna melt I've ever had.
I have tended to shy away from oil packed tuna in the past... But stand today a happy convert!

How wonderful to bring another one over to the oil-packed side! I am delighted you enjoyed it, and love your name!

This sandwich was divine! It was the second time I have had tuna in oil...and I have to let you know that I am a true believer now. The asiago cheese was mildly pungent and creamy, which was heavenly with the earthy thyme, sweet pepper, and lemony tuna. Next time I make this...I probably won't share it with my hubby (who loved it too).

I forgot to mention that I love capers and crusty bread, and the addition of crushed red peppers gave just the right amount of heat to make it interesting. Thank you!

This is the most delicious tuna melt I've ever had! I used finely diced cashews instead of mayo and added more lemon juice. I'll be keeping this recipe, thanks!

Fantastic sandwich - a great way to win over people who think they aren't fans of canned tuna. I made them as mini sandwiches and offered as hors d'oeuvres. Big hit!

So delicious! I used 1/2 a bell pepper, dried thyme, sourdough, and provolone for my melts. Served with a creamy tomato basil soup. It was a fantastic dinner.
I think additions of artichoke hearts and/or kalamata olives would be awesome with this too.

Mmmmmm, lovely dinner. And I agree with you about the chokes and kalamatas.

Okay, tuna melts are one of my most favorite foods in the world. Especially on rainy days like today. Normally I hate when people do this but...I didn't have the tuna in olive oil, we were out of thyme (i used a pinch of sage) and all we had was mozzarella cheese and rye bread. OMG IT WAS STILL DELICIOUS!!! My only problem now is - HOW DO I NOT EAT THE ENTIRE BOWL OF TUNA I MADE????? Thanks for this recipe. I can't wait for the rain to stop so i can get the rest of the listed ingredients and try it for real. :)

Nothing to apologize for......using what you have, making the best effort, creating a lunch that made you very happy ...... what's not to love? I'll bet the rye bread was fantastic. When you have a chance to pick some tuna in olive oil, try it again and make a taste comparison. See which you like best.
