I remember Mama making these back in the 50’s and I have been craving them of late. Thanks for this version of the recipe.

I love these too especially with a side of french fries in a diner! 🙂 Love your idea of the panini maker for them! Love your blog/website too – you seem to have my exact ideas and tastes in your recipes and menus – thanks so much – I just discovered this today and am reading everything! I love it!

A good recipe especially for those who don’t have much time to prepare a delicious meal. I love tuna melts! I like the idea of mixing different kinds of cheese. I will surely make one.

When we were growing up, we always had fish on Friday, being Catholic. One of my mother’s go to meals was a Tuna Melt that she made with cream of celery or cream of mushroom soup. I no longer have the recipe but I’m sure it was just an easy fix. I think she diced a little onion into the mix. She put the tuna on hamburger buns and toasted them in the oven. We loved them when we were children, though I recall picking out the onions. She served them with potato chips I’m sure, and the year would have been late 1950s. If you have a recipe like that I’d like to try it. This recipe sounds pretty good too.
I enjoy your blog and I love your book. It is just me and my husband now, he’s 70. But I freeze all our extra servings for future meals and it helps us eat well on a retirement income. Thank you!

What a wonderful story! I don’t have a recipe like that, but it almost sounds similar to a tuna casserole filling, without the noodles. Thanks so much for your kind words about the book! I’m so glad to know it works for all seasons of life. 🙂
I love tuna melts; I have for years. I have always served them open-faced with a slice of tomato on top. I just put them in the oven for a few minutes till hot. But, having seen your way, I like that way better and I happen to have a Panini press. Today I will be planning next week’s menu and on Monday night, we will be having these. Thanks for the idea. I haven’t made these in a long time.
