Oh Wow! This looks great! perfect timing since I just bought a case of tuna from the store! My husband's going to have a lot of tuna lunches!
I haven't had a tuna melt in AGES! They are so good, but this one looks over the top delicious!
Oh my word that sandwich looks amazing! We grew up on tuna sandwiches too, but like you the melty kind came way later. Love how you subbed pimiento for pickles. We like to use white tuna for ours.
Well that certainly is the prettiest tuna melt I have ever seen! I am going to make it and see if it's definitely the tastiest as well. Love me a good tuna melt!
I love a sandwich that uses sourdough, great upgrade from a tuna sandwich
Oh wow, this looks delicious! This would make a great lunch idea!
I've not had a tuna melt in ages. This looks divine!
