Tuna and Cheese Sandwiches
4 servings
10 minutes
This typical English sandwich is called a tuna melt in its homeland - the tuna is held together with melting cheese. If you don't like the taste of tuna juice, you can drain it and add a tablespoon of olive oil instead
1
Place the tuna with juice in a bowl and mash with your hands. Sprinkle with pink Mauritian pepper (it is as aromatic as black but less spicy), add capers, and mix. Add grated Emmental (or another cheese to taste — like Edam or Gouda) and mix again.
- Canned tuna in brine: 1 jar
- Pink peppercorns: to taste
- Capers: 0.5 teaspoon
- Emmental cheese: 200 g
2
Heat the pan over medium heat and lightly toast the bread on both sides. Then spread butter on one side of all pieces, add the tuna-cheese mixture, combine the sandwich halves — and return to the pan. They should stay covered for a couple of minutes — the idea is for the cheese to melt and bind with the fish mixture.
- Sandwich (toast) bread: 8 pieces
- Butter: 20 g

Cut the ready sandwiches diagonally and decorate with cucumber slices.
- Cucumbers: 0.5 piece
