This Secret Ingredient Makes Your Tuna Melt So Much Better
I can really enjoy a simple toasted sandwich: not too much fuss, just ham and cheese (or salami and cheese), and I’m happy. But it’s so easy to make these kinds of simple dishes much tastier with a small adjustment or addition here and there. I’ve already shared my secret ingredient for the ultimate toasted sandwich with you, and we’ve also got the secret ingredient for the tastiest pesto for you. But today I have one that’s at least just as successful; this simple ingredient turns your Tuna Melt into a truly exceptional dish.
And that simple ingredient is incredibly cheap, too. All right, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer; here it is.
Use this ingredient for a top-notch Tuna Melt
It’s cottage cheese — you probably wouldn’t have guessed that, would you? Yet it actually makes perfect sense; it adds more creaminess and, as an extra bonus, makes your Tuna Melt much creamier without adding too many calories or making your sandwich feel much heavier. Plus, you get extra protein.
Cottage cheese
Add the cottage cheese (to taste) when preparing the tuna for your Tuna Melt (these Tuna Melt tips are useful), and you can even reduce the amount of mayonnaise, if you like. Extra tip: if you want to add more vegetables, bell pepper is also delicious in this mixture and provides an extra crunch. And, of course, last but not least… Buy quality canned tuna. Then there’s no way this won’t become the tastiest Tuna Melt ever.
