Tuna Melt with Brie and Onion Jam

(wpseo_breadcrumb)
Tuna sandwich…blah…blah…blah. Another boring lunch, when you open the pantry trying to decide on something to eat.  But what if a couple of more ingredients could turn blah into yummm? I found myself in the same predicament, staring into the void of the pantry looking for something quick, easy, but good for lunch. That’s when I spotted the tuna I remember a conversation about a dip.
From across the market table we are constantly discussing recipes created using our savory jams. This one was inspired by a customer who makes a seafood dip with mayo and our onion jam.  A quick survey of the fridge found a bit of leftover brie and the jam. Yes, Tuna Melt, now all that’s needed is to combine everything and fire up the panini press.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tbsp onion jam
  • 1 can light tuna
  • 4 slices rye bread
  • Butter
  • Brie

Method:

  1. Combine mayonnaise and onion jam. For a variation you could also add a little chopped onion and celery.
  2. Drain and add tuna. Mix well.
  3. Butter the bread and pile on filling.
  4. Slice the brie slices about 1/4″ thick.
  5. Butter the outside of the sandwich or for a even better sandwich, spread lightly with more of the mayonnaise.
  6. Grill on panini press or in the frypan until cheese melts.
