A delightful twist on the classic tuna melt, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna and cream cheese until well blended.
Use a fork to break up the tuna for a smoother mixture.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the slices of bread.
Spread to the edges of the bread for consistent flavor in every bite.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the tuna mixture.
For extra cheesiness, add a little more cheese.
Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the toasties to prevent over-browning.
Top each toastie with a slice of tomato and a leaf of lettuce before serving.
Add the toppings just before serving to keep them fresh and crisp.
