Ingredients

  • 4 slices whole-wheat bread
  • 2 6-ounce cans chunk light tuna (see Ingredient note), drained
  • 1 medium shallot, minced (2 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Dash of hot sauce, such as
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat the broiler.

2. Toast bread in a toaster.

3. Combine tuna, shallot, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, salt, hot sauce and pepper in a medium bowl. Spread 1/4 cup of the tuna mixture on each slice of toast; top with tomato slices and 2 tablespoons cheese. Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Ingredient Note: Canned white tuna comes from the large albacore and can be high in mercury content. Chunk light, on the other hand, which comes from smaller fish, skipjack or yellowfin, is best for health-conscious eaters. According to a recent study, canned white tuna samples averaged about 315 percent more mercury than chunk light tuna samples.
