So I'm thinking to myself, I've had them before so how could a tuna melt be so "wonderful"? WELL, I made it (just to see what all the hype was about) and I tell you what, it is WAY better than wonderful - it's outstanding!!! The tomatoes in between the swiss cheese are so perfect. I had to make my own season salt (we seemed to have every spice known to man in our cabinet except that one - so I looked up the ingredients on the internet and voila! we now have home made seasoned salt)but it was quite easy and definitely worth it! Thanks for changing my mind about tuna melts!!!

Kit, you were not joking! This recipe is the BEST ever tuna melt. I didn't have parsely or seasoning salt, but used lemon pepper & a little white salt. I used extra sour rye bread. My son doesn't like celery (I always have to try to disquise it!), so he gave the recipe a 4 star. His friend, dad & I all gave the recipe a 5 star without any hesitation. Instead of open-faced, I added a slice of bread on top & broiled the whole thing until toasted. These sandwiches were delish! It'll be the only tuna melt recipe I ever use again. Thanks!

Hi KittenCal; Finally made this recipe yesterday. It turned out so tasty that I devoured the entire lot all by myself and did not give any one a chance to try it. I wanted to have this as a snack while watching the Hockey Game, but just couldn't wait. So, I will be making it again so that I can share. Thank you for a well designed recipe. "Uncle Bill"

These were delicious! I didn't have pumpernickel or rye- just stale french bread, lol, but they tasted fabulous!

What can I say? A great tuna melt. DH, who previously declared that he did not like rye, had to admit that it was the perfect bread for this tuna melt. I used lemon pepper, lemon juice, and the seasoning salt as suggested. Thanks!

This was a great sandwich. I served mine open faced and did add some dill pickle to it (just a personal preference)I would love to try this again with a different cheese, like provolone. Thanks Kittencal for another winner.

Made this for dinner tonight and the whole fam loved it.. ESP. ME!!! I am on WW's and I entered this on the site to see how many points it was and it was ONLY 4 POINTS per serving..
I did use white albacore in water, instead of "tuna" and I only used 2 tbs of shredded low fat mozzarella on all of them, along with whole wheat bread.. I left all the ingredients sizes the same but on WW's I made it for 5 servings because that is what it ended up serving for our family.. FILLING and a way to get full without breaking the bank on POINTS!!!!! Whooo hoooo- a keeper 4 sure!!! Thanks Kittencal..

Thanks Kittencal for a great recipe. Had it for dinner last night minus the tomatoes (they are not too good this time of year). Will be making again, and again, and again. Thanks
