My personalized version of the old standard tuna melt. One of my favorite lunches with a cup of nice, hot soup.

How to Make King's Hawaiian Tuna Melt Supreme

Step-by-Step

Place all of tuna salad ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside. (Can be made up ahead for flavors to blend.) Slice round loaf of King's Hawaiian Bread to desired thickness. (Enough filling to make 2 large sandwiches or 4 small.)
Layer as follows:
1. bread
2. cheese
3. tomato
4. tuna salad
5. cheese
6. bread

Melted cheese holds everything else in. ;)
Butter both sides of bread generously and grill (fry) until golden brown. Serve with sweet potato fries or chips and pickle slices.
(Use any left-over sliced, round sweet Hawaiian bread to make the best French Toast you've ever had the next morning!)
