    Tuna Melt is a gorgeous treat. Food wishes has a nice open sandwich variant you should try for lunch.

    Ingredients

    • 2 slices of whole wheat bread
    • 1 can of tuna (MSC certified, please)
    • 1 slice of lemon
    • Mayo (see introduction)
    • 200 g grated Gouda
    • freshly ground black pepper & salt
    • optionally: 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
    • optionally: 1 tablespoon of chopped green onions

    The tuna melt topping will at least serve two.

    Preparation

    • Mix mayo, tuna and cheese, using a fork
    • add pepper and salt to your liking
    • refrigerate until ready to make sandwich
    • Lay around four table spoons on first slice
    • Lay top slice on and press down
    • Cut & present to your liking

    If you connect “tuna melt” with molten cheese, go ahead. Just butter the sandwich on the outside, put the sandwich on a steak skillet and cover it. Brown for 3-5 min. per side and check for melting.

    • 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise

    Preparation

    • bake the bacon with just a bit of oil in a frying pan until crispy to your liking, dry it with a kitchen towel
    • toast the bread 
    • spread the mayo on both outer slices, and one side of the inner slice
    • place the lettuce onto one slice
    • add half of the bacon
    • add the tomato

    The bacon should be raw bacon. Could be replaced by English breakfast bacon, which is bigger and from the cutlet, not the belly, but this meat would go better with the infamous bacon bap (bacon, bap, brown sauce).

    • Some Lettuce
    • 1/2 Tomato
    • (Avocado)
    • 2 slices of toast bread

  • Cucumber – Cream Cheese

    Introduction

    This is not “the” classic afternoon tea cucumber sandwich. The classic is rather bland and leaves out the dill, and the cream cheese, thus it is toast & butter & cucumber. Well…

    Some cover the cucumber slices with salt and leave them for some minutes to extract some water (like in good quality tzatziki). I don’t believe it is needed if you eat the sandwiches almost immediately.

    But the tzatziki thing leads us to the simple alternative to just put freshly made tzatziki between your bread slices. Wow – another sandwich is born…

    Ingredients

    • 2 slices of whole wheat bread
    • 1/3 Cucumber peeled (serves two, four slices)
    • Cream Cheese, softened
    • Butter, softened or olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon of minced dill, alternatives: mint, 1 crushed garlic clove
    • freshly ground white pepper & salt

    Preparation

    • Mix cream cheese, butter and dill together until soft and can be spread easily
    • Cut cucumbers into 4 mm planks
    • Spread mixture on both slices of bread covering the entire slice
    • Lay cucumbers on one slice not overlapping
    • Lay top slice on and press down
    • Cut & present to your liking
