This sandwich gets a crunchy finish with chips embedded into the bread. I use very special potato chips that were sent to me from Pennsylvania by my dear friend, MP. But if you can't find Utz®, your favorite chip will work just fine. Serve with more chips and pickles.

Ingredients

  • 1 , 5 ounce
  • 0.25 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 dill pickle , chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 4 slices rustic whole-grain bread
  • 4 slices Irish Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons whipped cream cheese , divided
  • 1 cup coarsely crushed potato chips , such as Utz®
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise , divided

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix tuna, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl. Stir in pickle and red onion. Spread tuna mixture on 2 slices of bread. Top each with 2 slices of Cheddar cheese.

  2. 2

    Spread 1 tablespoon cream cheese on each of the remaining 2 slices of bread. Place on top of the Cheddar cheese.

  3. 3

    Place crushed chips in a shallow bowl. Spread top side of each tuna melt with 1 1/2 teaspoon mayonnaise and press into the chips. Repeat on other side.

  4. 4

    Heat a dry grill pan over medium-high heat. Toast tuna melts until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
