Craving a quick and satisfying meal? Look no further than the classic Tuna Melt with a twist! It’s the perfect blend of creamy tuna, gooey melted cheese, and toasted bread – a true comfort food staple.

The best way to enjoy a Tuna Melt is freshly made and hot off the pan. Serve with a side of crispy potato chips or a light salad for a balanced meal. It’s ideal for a quick lunch or a casual dinner, guaranteed to please both kids and adults alike!

For best results, consume your Tuna Melt fresh. However, if you need to store it, keep the unassembled tuna salad in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to two days, and assemble before reheating to maintain the best quality.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • medium-sized bowl
  • medium-sized frying pan
  • spatula

Ingredients

Units Scale
TUNA CREME
  • 150 grams canned tuna in water (drained)
  • 50 grams mayonnaise
  • 1 pickled cucumber
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
  • dill
  • chives
  • salt & pepper to taste
OTHER INGREDIENTS
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 4 slices bread of your choice
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese
  • 80 grams mozzarella cheese
  • 1 jalapeno
  • butter
  • Tabasco (optional)

Instructions

PREPARATIONS

  1. Peel the onion, halve it, and slice it into fine half circles. Set aside.
  2. Wash the jalapeño and slice it into thin rings. Set aside.
  3. Squeeze the mozzarella in paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible, then slice it thinly. Set aside.

COOKING

  1. For the tuna cream: Drain the can of tuna so there’s no water left. Place the tuna in a medium-sized bowl. Mix it with mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Now chop the pickle into small pieces and add it to the bowl. Finely chop the dill and chives and add them to the bowl as well. Peel and finely chop the garlic clove, or press it into the bowl. Mix everything together. Season to taste and set aside.
  2. Heat a pan over medium heat without adding any additional fat. Meanwhile, spread a little butter on two slices of bread. Place the bread slices in the pan, buttered side down. Spread each with half of the tuna cream, then top with the red onions. Add half of the mozzarella and a slice of cheddar cheese to each. Top with the jalapeño slices. Let it all cook for a few minutes on low to medium heat.
  3. Meanwhile butter the other two bread slices. Once the bottom of the bread in the pan is golden brown and crispy, place the other bread slices, buttered side up, on top of the sandwiches in the pan. Use a spatula to lift the sandwich and quickly flip it, so it can brown on the other side.
  4. Let everything cook for another 5-8 minutes on low heat, allowing the cheese to melt and the bread slice to become crispy.
  5. Remove from the pan and cut in half. Serve immediately, drizzle with Tabasco to taste and enjoy your pieces of happiness.

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • medium-sized bowl
  • whisk
  • large frying pan
  • spatula

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
BATTER
  • 125 grams all-purpose flour
  • 125 milliliters whole-fat milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
FRYING
  • 70 grams bacon
  • 2 tsp clarified butter
TOPPINGS
  • chives
  • cress
  • majoram
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the bacon strips in half or thirds – depending on your preference.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together milk and eggs. Now add the salt and flour and beat with the whisk until smooth. Let the batter sit for 10-15 minutes to thicken.
  3. Place the bacon slices in a cold pan and cook over medium heat until they start to shrink and turn slightly brown. Then add a teaspoon of clarified butter and continue cooking the bacon for another 2-3 minutes—it should be dark pink but not too crispy.
  4. Pour half of the batter over the bacon and let it cook for about 6-8 minutes. The batter should be fully cooked on one side, firm, and barely liquid before flipping.
  5. Use a spatula to flip the pancake and cook for another minute on the other side, then transfer to a plate. Serve garnished with marjoram, freshly ground pepper, and microgreens.

  • Yield: 6

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large pan

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
FILLING
  • 400 grams lean minced beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 cumin
  • 1/2 garlic powder
  • 1/2 onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 250 milliliters beef stock
  • 125 grams shredded mozzarella
  • 125 grams shredded cheddar
TORTILLAS
  • 6 medium-sized tortillas
  • 3 tsp olive oil
TOPPINGS
  • 2 limes
  • cilantro
  • 200 grams creme fraiche
  • 200 grams salsa

Instructions

  1. Wash the cilantro, pluck the leaves from the stems, and roughly chop them.
  2. Wash the limes and cut them into quarters.
  3. Mix the grated mozzarella and grated cheddar in a bowl.
  4. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Put the ground beef into the pan and season it with 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and ½ teaspoon each of oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook the meat until it forms a dark crust at the bottom of the pan. Then add 1 heaping tablespoon of tomato paste to the meat, mix everything together, and let it cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour beef broth into the pan to deglaze it, scrape off the crust from the bottom, and let everything simmer for about 10 minutes until the broth forms a creamy sauce around the meat.
  5. Meanwhile, lay out 6 tortilla wraps side by side and spread half of the cheese on one half of each tortilla, leaving the other half free.
  6. Spread the meat directly from the pan onto the cheese on each tortilla. Wipe the pan clean and place it back on the stove.
  7. Now, spread the second half of the cheese on top of the meat and use a spoon to distribute the filling to the edge of half of each tortilla. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filled half. Press down firmly.
  8. Cook two of the filled quesadillas side by side in the pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil on both sides over medium heat until the tortilla becomes crispy golden brown and the cheese inside is melted. Remove from the pan and cut in half.
  9. Place three pieces of the quesadillas on each plate, along with two lime wedges, and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with your favorite salsa and sour cream for dipping.

  • two medium-sized bowls
  • small pan
  • large pan

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
SLAW
  • 250 grams white cabbage
  • 250 grams red cabbage
  • 1 cup cilantro
  • 1 red onion
  • 200 grams low fat yogurt
  • salt & pepper to taste
SHRIMPS
  • 550 grams black tiger shrimps (26/30 p. lb. frozen count)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for marinade
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprik
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes
TOPPINGS & TACOS
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 limes
  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 spring onions
  • cilantro

Instructions

  1. If you’re using frozen shrimp, let them thaw in a strainer with a drip tray in the fridge a day before you need them. Then wash them thoroughly and pat them dry before further use.
  2. Rinse fresh shrimp with cold water and pat dry.
  3. Cut the green part of the spring onions into fine strips lengthwise.
  4. Quarter the limes.
  5. Slice the red cabbage, white cabbage, and red onion into thin strips and put them in a medium-sized bowl. Pluck the coriander leaves from the stems, roughly chop them, and add to the bowl with the cabbage. Add yogurt, salt, and pepper as well, and stir everything well. Set aside.
  6. Next, peel and finely chop or press the garlic cloves and mix them with olive oil, chili, cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and oregano to create a paste. Coat the shrimp in the paste, ensuring they’re evenly covered. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, in a small pan, lightly toast the corn tortillas on both sides without adding fat, so they’re warm but still bendable. Alternatively, you can warm them in the oven for a few minutes.
  8. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan and fry the shrimp on each side for about 1-2 minutes until they’re no longer transparent and have curled up.
  9. Spread the tortillas on plates, top with the slaw, distribute 4 shrimps on each, and garnish with yogurt, coriander, spring onion, and lime juice.

Bacon Onion Cheese Rolls & Poppy Seed Glaze


  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 2 hrs
  • Yield: 12

Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • baking dish – my used measurements were 20x26cm (8×10 inch)
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • medium-sized bowl
  • whisk
  • small bowl
  • pastry brush
  • spatula
  • large pan

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
DOUGH
  • 450 grams all-purpose flour
  • 180 milliliters full-fat cow milk
  • 2 tsp dry active yeast
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp butter, room-temperature
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for greasing the bowl
BACON
  • 250 grams bacon
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 60 milliliter white wine (or any kind of stock)
CARAMALIZED ONIONS
  • 600 grams yellow onions
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 60 milliliter white wine (or any kind of stock)
POPPY SEED GLAZE
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp poppy seeds
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
OTHER INGREDIENTS
  • 250 grams cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp butter for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. To make the dough, warm the milk slightly to 35–40°C (95–104°F) and mix it with the dry active yeast and honey in a small container. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbles form, indicating the yeast is active. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the egg, butter, and salt. Stir in the milk-yeast mixture until well incorporated. Gradually add the flour in four additions, mixing thoroughly after each one. Once the dough is firm enough, transfer it to a clean work surface and knead with the remaining flour until it becomes smooth, elastic, and soft. This should take about 10 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough ball inside. Coat the dough lightly with a bit more olive oil, then cover the bowl with cling film and a clean towel. Let it rest in a warm place for one hour.
  2. To make the caramelized onions, peel the onions, cut them into thin half-circles, and cook them in a large pan with a tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt over low to medium heat. Stir occasionally, allowing them to caramelize slowly. This takes about 30 minutes, depending on the desired color. Finish by deglazing with a splash of white wine and letting it reduce briefly. Alternatively, you can use stock instead of wine. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside in a bowl.
  3. For the bacon, use the same pan you caramelized the onions in (no need for additional fat). Fry the bacon until crispy, then add fresh or dried thyme, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and a drizzle of honey. Let everything caramelize over medium heat before deglazing with a splash of white wine or stock. Allow the liquid to evaporate, then set the bacon aside.
  4. Grease a baking dish with butter and set aside. Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F. Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside. Dust a clean work surface with flour and place the dough ball on it. It should have doubled in size by now. Sprinkle the dough lightly with more flour and roll it out into a rectangle about 30×40 cm (12×16 inches). Spread half of the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the caramelized onions and bacon. Top with the remaining cheese. Roll the dough tightly from the bottom upward, then cut it into 12 equal pieces. Place the rolls in the greased baking dish, cut side up. Cover the dish with cling film and a towel, and let it rest for another 30 minutes in a warm place.
  5. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown. While the rolls bake, prepare the poppy seed glaze. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, garlic powder, poppy seeds, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard.
  6. After 30 minutes of baking, remove the rolls from the oven and brush them evenly with the glaze. Return them to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, being careful not to let them get too dark. Let the rolls cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
