βI made this recipe simply because it was baked. That was a new twist. Both my husband and I were stunned by the difference it made. Took me a while to figure out why this sandwich was so good but realized its the butter melting down into the sandwich soaking tβ β a cook, 5.0β
βThis tuna melt was fabulous on my first try. I had no parsley so left out, left out salt, used sliced cheddar cheese, and grilled it in a nonstick pan. Came out perfect and my husband REALLY liked it. I am going to put it into our regular rotation. Thanks!β β a cook, 5.0β
