Ingredients

• 2 cups canned tuna (in water, drained)
• 1 cup artichoke hearts (quartered, drained and chopped)
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces sourdough bread slices
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)
• 2 tablespoons butter (softened, for spreading)
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to broil and adjust the rack to the upper third of the oven.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each sourdough bread slice and place them buttered-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4

Evenly divide the tuna-artichoke mixture among the four bread slices, spreading it to cover the surface.

Step 5

Top each sandwich with a generous layer of sliced or shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Broil in the oven for 4-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the edges of the bread are golden brown. Be sure to watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the melts cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top as a garnish for added freshness.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Tuna Artichoke Melts!
