Tuna & Sweetcorn Melt

A melt can use any type of bread. For sliced bread it is usual to butter the outside of the bread so that this fries and browns. It’s a good idea to limit the amount of butter and mayonnaise as it all adds to richness. Sweetcorn can be rather sweet, so offset this with a little salt, plenty of pepper and a good squeeze of lemon. There is no reason why a toasted, grilled or fried melt cannot be finished in the a microwave or hot oven to melt the cheese if necessary.

Mix the tuna, sweetcorn, mayonnaise, and season. Cut the bread into two halves and lightly butter each on the insides. Fill the bottom piece with the tuna mixture and cover with cheese and the other half of bread. Heat on a grill pan or flat non-stick pan, finish in the oven or a microwave if necessary. Serve with dill pickle and mustard.
