CLASSIC TUNA MELT: Easy, Delicious, & Satisfying/Simple Sandwich Perfect When Pressed for Time

- Who doesn't love a good Tuna Melt Sandwich? If you're pressed for time, it's the easiest, most satisfying thing you can make; which is what makes it a Classic. You really don't need a recipe for this, but if you're interested in knowing what I put in mine, I'll go ahead and list the ingredients below.
Classic Tuna Melt
1 12oz. can of tuna in water (drained)
bread (I like sliced sourdough)
chopped onion
diced hamburger pickles
mayonnaise
fresh lemon juice
fresh parsley
salt & pepper
When it comes time to grill your sandwich, I spread either softened butter or mayonnaise on the outer sides of the bread and that gives it that perfectly toasted/golden quality. I also like putting a lid over the sandwich when it's being grilled. That helps the cheese melt and ensures the tuna mixture is warmed all the way through.
Thanks so much for checking out my video. I'd love to hear what you put in your Tuna Melt (because I know we all have our own way of doing things), so leave me a comment. Thank you to those of you who also give it a Thumbs Up & Subscribe. I post one new video every week at Marcy Inspired.

Back in the 90's I worked Loss Prevention for Nordstrom and would order Tuna Melts delivered to the camera room from the Nordstrom Cafe and eat that goodness while camera hunting for shoplifters. I haven't had a tuna melt since then. Brings back memories.
Pickles are the greatest!!!! This lady is going places.
ok.. first off.. your dog is adorable.. 2nd.. that i love tuna melts :p
Awe. Thanks! Loved your comment.
My beloved cat. George loved tuna. He passed away about 3 years ago. Sometimes I dream about George. Although he loved to sleep on the kitchen counter. I want a another cat. I believe in Jesus. Please pray for my friends and I to get another cat. Thanks. Shiloh.
I'm so sorry you lost your cat, George. I'm sure he had a very sweet life in your care. May God hear your heart and bring another pet you and your friends can love. In Jesus' name, amen.
Plenty of cats in shelters/foster homes. Don’t need prayers to get a cat. Sorry about George. I’ve lost a few good friends along the way too. It sucks.
Cultists always being unobjective and try to push their Cult into everything and then having the audacity to ask others to waste their time doing something proven to be factually useless and invalid. If you can't bring up anything without your cult bs, don't. Be objective or be quiet
Wow...good to see our familiar local journalist again. After watching today, I made my very first tuna melt 2/15/24 YAY!!🎉 Blessed to share it with my Mom as our lunch today. Thanks Marcy. Love your channel.
Cheers from Sac!
Looks delicious. Making this tonight. Thanks!
Tuna melts are pretty simple but I just wanted to make sure I was going through everything properly before I started, and you inspired me to add diced pickles to it, oh my god that extra little crunch is amazing haha, thank you!
Happy to hear that. I love that little crunch, too.
I use dill pickle relish...eliminates the chopping!!
@@susanthompson284yup I add the hamburger sweet relish and a dab of yellow mustard for a flavor kick ❤
After I drain the water. I splash in some Malt Vinegar. Let it marinate in it for awhile. Then, I mix up the tuna.
One of the ultimate comfort foods❤️
Wow what a gorgeous sandwich from a beautiful lady and a stunning dog what's not to like !!!! Sat here watching you with my four French bulldogs they are captivated,sending you love from England x
Oh my! I don't know what I loved most about your comment! It was all so kind, and I'm thrilled to know you are watching in England. Warmest regards to you and your four fur babies.
My senior pup always smell or hear me opening a can of tuna 🤗 he knows he’s getting a treat!
That's so cute! I think my dog smells it. Her hearing isn't that great anymore, but her nose always knows when there's food. Lol
I always stay out of the kitchen, but have been a bit adventurous these days so I got out of my comfort zone by trying this. Thank you, Marcy!
That's awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to tell me. I'm glad you're being adventurous paid off. Another easy one to try is the chicken salad sandwich. It seems to be everyone's favorite. czcams.com/video/DxvmdkOUpJQ/video.html
@@marcyinspired1442 I will definitely try this out this weekend! ❤️ thank you, again!
I like my tuna with green onions and sesame seeds, I also like to add a lil bit of olive oil
The pickle was new tasty addition. Thanks.
Thank you Marcy! That looks like a wonderful grilled tuna!
Your Beagle precious! ❤
Thank you so much for watching and commenting (especially about my little fur baby!)
Looks delicious, sourdough is the best for sandwiches like this👍, for family they don't like onion, celery, pickles or any like that in tuna, we use kewpie mayo, little milk, capers and ground pepper for tuna, butter on bread, processed cheese and havarti cheese.. 🤤, I'm gonna add parsley next time 🤔, might be fast dinner tonight with fries lol. Tyvm tc
Using dill relish is even better
Yeah, some of us love the dill for sure.
Thank you for such a lovely recipe ❤
definitely gonna try this out,ty for the recipe,i alway love to see granny cooking since it the best
This looks so delicious! Love your doggy helping you cook.
Thanks! She’s my little helper, for sure. Making sure not a single crumb gets left behind. 😉
@@marcyinspired1442 🤣
Yummmmmmmm. I've had tuna melt before in little Diners but i just made this exactly as per your directions and it is the best thing i've ever tasted ! Thank you.
Happy to hear that! I may need to make one after reading your comment. :)
👍😃I love this lady. She makes it so simple and delicious.
Thanks so much! What a sweet comment.
Easy. But I've loved Longhorn cheese since being a kid. Thanks for posting. ,😋
Just what I was looking for. Thanks.
Making one right now that made my mouth water. THANKS👍👍👍👍👍
Love hearing that. Hope it was delicious.
Looks delicious! Like how you used both cheeses. I also loved Mileys own family photo wall 🤗
Thanks, Sally. I think Miley knows it's her.
OMG, how I love this sandwich and on my favorite bread!! I also love your precious beagle!! I'm so happy you give her the tuna water. I give it to my kitty!😊 So I am now a new subscriber! Thank you so much for your recipe. I am going to make this sandwich for my lunch tomorrow! Yummy!!!
Awe. Thank you so much! What a sweet comment. But then again, animal lovers are always the best people. Your kitty is in for a treat tomorrow. :)
I second that emotion 👏👍🎊
I've been eating tuna salad religiously for as far I can remember but never had a tuna melt. I'm going to try this today. Thank you so much and nice channel and videos ☺️
Thank YOU for watching. I hope you like it. Tuna melts are comfort food, in my opinion.
Loved the last bit!
Thanks for watching!
I made the smoked tuna melts tonight!!! They were so good! Thank you for the recipe and great idea!!
Glad you liked it!! Thanks for the comment.
I've never had a actual tuna melt so I thought I'd finally look it up to see what it entailed. Thanks.
Thanks for checking out my version, and for the comment.
Same here
Yea I’m hungry now
Ha! Sorry about that. Fortunately, it's easy to make.
I’ve made these with celery instead of the parsley , wrapped them up in foil and baked them in the oven! I’ve used leftover hamburger buns as well!
How u made it in the oven cuz the pan was a little difficult 🥲
Add pickles! Huh! Great idea - I’ll try that! Thanks!
Looks great and what an immaculate kitchen.
Thank you so much! I like to clean as I cook, but trust me, it gets pretty messy.
I have some canned smoked tuna a buddy gave to me!! I will definitely try these with it! Thanks so much!
Thank YOU. Hope you enjoy it.
Havarti dill has always been my go for a tuna melt.
I love the fact you save the juice for your cat. You’re a good person. I also love to add a bit of finally chopped celery. It gives it a nice little crunch.❤
The Tuna broth was for her Beagle DOG, not a cat. Obviously, you didn’t pay attention to this video bcos at the end she shows herself feeling the dog and the dog eating the food with the Tuna broth on it… 🙄 smh 🤦♀️
I love hamburger pickle in my tuna😋☝️🤸
Never ever had a tuna melt sandwich so I’m going to try your recipe tomorrow, looking at your cutie beagle 👵🏼👋🏼 grandma from the Bronx .
Thank you! She's my sidekick in the kitchen. Hope you enjoy your tuna melt.
Nice job 👏🏼 looks simple and delicious 🤤
Thanks! It's SO good.
Great sandwich. Live in New Zealand and followed your instructions. Tastes delicious
I'm so happy to hear that! And I'm thrilled to know someone in New Zealand, now. Thanks for taking the time to comment. :)
I made this yesterday, it was incredibly easy and delicious!
Happy to hear that. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you very much, that was perfect. Simple... thank you, thank you, thank you...
OH so yummy 😋. Thanx Marcy 🥰. AND the pup❣️
Thank you! I always love when people comment about my fur baby.
Yes I have 3 dogs, they love tuna oil. I never buy Tina in Brine, but will buy it now. I got some good recipes from a lot of clips, I love tuna- so will try all certainly in time.
Looks so yummi!
Looks delicious! I can't wait to try.
Thanks! I hope you like it as much as I do.
@@marcyinspired1442 You're welcome.
Looks great my husband loves tuna melts I’m going to make this for lunch today. Thanks for suggestion of saving the water for your dog. I have a picky yellow lab so I saved some in a bowl sat it down and licked right up. Next time I’ll put it on his kibble.
Awe. I love yellow labs! And I'm happy, she too, benefitted from this video. I've had people tell me the water from the tuna can is not good for dogs, but I don't see the harm, especially when I only pour a little at a time over my dog's kibble. And I don't eat tuna every day. Dogs need flavor, too!
Very delicious, very simple, & Very Awesome 🤩 yum 😋🤤
Thanks so much. I appreciate the comment.
Never heard of this, gotta try it.
Too good 😊😊😊
1st Time Here Great! Video Work Is Really Top Notch And The Tuna Thing Is Perfect! Cheerz From Cypress Texas Well Done

Hope it turns out nice and melty for you. Enjoy! And thanks for the comment.
Great recipe!

I like diced celery in mine, sometimes some dried dill or Old Bay seasoning or a pinch of curry powder.
I make that for my granddaughter
Yuuuummy! ❤😋
Thank you for this wonderful video. Going to make this tonight.

Looks good Marcy, I will try it now minus the bread and will use tortillas...will sub cut up green olives. Man, that looks delicious.
I sure enjoyed the recipe and making it now… giggles 🤭
That's awesome. Hope it was good.
Hi Marcy...Today is the first time I have watched your channel. I realized that I never had a tuna melt and I wanted to see how you made yours. It sure does look good! I subscribed today and hope to watch your shows regularly. Love your darling dog. )
Awe, thanks so much! What a great comment. I appreciate you subscribing and hope you find other recipes you like on my channel. I only started it in 2020, when we were all stuck at home. My dog, Miley, manages to make it into many of my videos.
New subby from Australia! :) love your recipes
Yay! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Welcome to my channel. I’m so excited to have someone from Australia watching.
You and Tony do great work
Thanks so much! Tony makes me look better than I am.
That looks yummy! My dog also loves tuna juice on her dog food!
Thanks for the comment. Happy to hear I'm not the only one who saves it for their dog.
Yummy ❤
Ooh I like her version even better
You wouldn’t happen to have a old timers hot tamale pork recipe like the old Mexican grandmothers made and passed on to their daughters. ? I’ve been looking for one for years since I had the best from a elderly lady and man that sat beside the road going into Houston that I stopped at every day they were there. She had them made in a crockpot or pressure cooker with a redish looking liquid. But they were the best I ever had and they were always wrapped in corn husk and the husk taste would really make the spicy 🌶️ pork tamales. Man they were the best in the land.
Thanks 🙏👍
Awesome video. I made a big bowl of tuna salad tonight, with the exact same ingredients you used. Now I am wondering how we are going to eat this much tuna salad.. You just gave me a great idea. TY!
Oh good! Glad I could help.
Yummy
So i followed your steps just now, with the exception of all the other ingredients other than mayo since i don't have all of that, i used mayo and mustard, hit the bread with mayo, and when it was done, my goodness. I've never made a tuna melt before.(👀) it was pretty good. I need to buy the rest of those ingredients. 🤤
Happy to hear that. It's such a simple sandwich, but it really is fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I came here after watching the crazy Mark Warner tuna melt video. What a disaster! Someone needs to show him yours but it’s probably too much work for him. 😂 I need to hit the store tomorrow so I can make this for dinner tomorrow.
After reading your comment, I had to look it up. That is hilarious! And he wonders why his kids won't eat it!? Lol
Great recipe, I made it without the parsley. Next time I’ll try with.
So simple...I like to add green onions and sometimes chopped cilantro.
Sounds yummy. Thanks for the comment.
You are the best
Thank you so much for watching!
This is the consistency of tuna salad I make when just making tuna sandwiches, but for a tuna melt, I do think you should go a little drier, because you are going to have melty cheese all over it. Too much moisture will kill your tuna melt experience. As the Ortega people used to say: It tastes better in your mouth, than it does on your shirt!
Thanks for uploading the video and method!
Like recipe always chop celery finely & grate juice of an onion if do not have lemons but love tuna sandwiches with provolone cheese HELLMANS mayo❣
OMG shut up
@@adoramacy1059 Take the tablets, hun.
Fabulous!!. Than you..
Thank YOU for watching!
Gonna try this recipe and I'll come back to edit this comment with my thoughts🙂👍🏼
I love your sandwich but, I love the Beagle more. Thank you for sharing your Beagle with us. We all need more reasons to smile. 💞
Awe. Thank you for the sweet comment. I love my little fur baby.
I made a bootleg version of this and it was so good I decided to look up how it would normally be made. Now I’m here lol. I had a “tuna creations” pouch and it was smoked flavored. I threw that in a pan with a slice of Munster cheese untill the bottom of the tuna was crispy and the cheese melted. I also toasted the potato bun in the pan at the same time. Then I threw a couple hamburger pickles and some Mayo on the bun along with the tuna and cheese and it was better than I had ever hoped it could be.
I love your "bootleg" version. Sounds yummy.
Mom im hungryyy asff😭
thanks!
Thank YOU for watching!
Hi Marcy thank you for this video. Can you make a video of you using mayo to toast a melt? 🙏
Mmmm
Thanknyou
I like celery in mine not parsley and topped with a tomtato.
That sounds yummy, too. 👌🏼
Fantastic darlin’ !
Faubus
Dill weed! Also, black pepper and coarse sea salt, even just a little horseradish
Havarti cheese as well, rye bread!
Chopped green onions would be good in too
I add decent sized onion chunks too
Greate video Where can I buy the skillet you use in the video?
