Ingredients
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix the drained tuna with mayo and 1 tsp of the hot honey. Add any seasonings you love—garlic powder, onion powder, Old Bay, salt, pepper, or paprika all work well.
- Optionally, toast your bread until crisp. If using the air fryer you can skip this.
- Divide the tuna mixture between the two slices. Top with tomato slices and cheese.
- Melt the cheese: Oven method: Place on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is bubbly and melted, 1–2 minutes. Stovetop method: Heat a pan over medium, place the slices inside, cover, and cook until the cheese melts. Air Fryer: Cook at 400 for ~3-5 minutes
- Oven method: Place on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is bubbly and melted, 1–2 minutes.
- Drizzle with the remaining hot honey. Finish with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Want it extra cozy? Turn this into a full sandwich or panini.
- No hot honey? Regular honey works too—add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want the heat.
- Diced red onion mixes beautifully into the tuna. Herbs that pair well: parsley, chives, dill, basil, or thyme.
