Everybody loves sandwiches and most people grew up eating tuna sandwiches. Much like salmon, tuna is a much diversified food and there are many great ways to prepare and enjoy it. If you have never had the pleasure of biting into a delicious and piping hot baked tuna sandwich, here is how you make them!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 Can of White Albacore tuna in water
• 2 ounces of mayonnaise
• ½ ounce of mustard
• Pinch of black pepper
• Pinch of paprika
• White bread
• Foil wrap
• Mixing bowl
• Cookie sheet
• Sliced Swiss cheese

1. Purchase the supplies. Take the time to make a list and head to your local grocer. All the supplies you will need should cost you less than $5, if you don’t already have them.

2. Preheat the oven. Since ovens take time to heat up, make sure to preheat your oven to 450 degrees before you start preparing the sandwiches.

3. Prepare the tuna. Open the tuna cans and drain the water. Empty the tuna into a medium sized mixing bowl.

4. Mix the condiments and spices in. Next add the mayo and the mustard, as well as a pinch of black pepper. Stir the tuna in the mixing bowl until it is thoroughly mixed with the added ingredients.

5. Prepare the sandwiches for baking. Lay out 2 pieces of white bread each on their own 1x1 foot piece of foil wrap. Use half of your tuna mixture on 1 slice and the rest on the other slice. Garnish the tuna with a pinch of paprika when finished. Next lay a piece of the sliced Swiss cheese on top of each sandwich. Now you can lay the other slice of bread down to complete the sandwiches.

6. Wrap the sandwiches. Once you have completed preparing the sandwiches wrap them in the foil wrap.

7. Bake for 20 minutes. Place the sandwiches on the cookie sheet and bake them in the oven for 20 minutes.

8. Let cool for 5 minutes and enjoy.

Tips & Warnings

• Wear potholders when handling the cookie sheet, lest you get burned.
• Make sure to keep an eye on the sandwiches and set a timer on the oven so they do not accidentally get burned.
