Tuna Melt, Inspired by Guillaume Riesen



Thanks Guillaume for your awesome recipe! We tried it out and it was delicious. As Guillaume says, "I use the pre-made grilled cheese sandwiches from the vegetarian line. Pull one open, spread on a layer of tuna salad from the grill line, some tomato slices, and grill it on the panini maker until warmed through (the grilled cheeses are already a bit crunchy, so it doesn't take much). If you want salad, it seems important to add it on last - pull the sandwich open yet again and stick some in there. Otherwise it will tend to wilt on the grill. A dab of mayonnaise is optional."

Our version adds some cheese and omits the tomato, for no reason other than forgetfulness.
