Ingredients

• 200 grams Canned tuna in water
• 150 grams Canned sweet corn
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 100 grams Cheddar cheese
• 4 slices Wholegrain bread
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler (grill) to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the canned tuna, sweet corn, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 3

Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place the bread slices buttered-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.

Step 5

Evenly divide the tuna and sweet corn mixture among the four slices of bread, spreading it to cover each slice completely.

Step 6

Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese generously over the mixture on each slice.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet under the broiler (grill) for about 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the bread are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven carefully and let the melts cool slightly before handling.

Step 9

Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Tuna and Sweet Corn Melts!
