Tuna Melt Habanero

What's not to like about an open-face melt after a good long bike ride?! I love my toaster oven because I'll take a tuna melt over a tuna sandwich any day. Like a panini press, which seems to make any sandwich better, the toaster oven can transform an otherwise mundane collection of bread and foodstuff into a little bit of heaven.

I use this formula - some kind of bread, muffin or crust - tortillas count, then some kind of sandwich filling material, some cheese almost always, and something fun for the top. Bake in toaster oven at 450F for 7-10 minutes. 1-2-3-4 voila.

1 large or 2 small cans tuna, drained
4 slices bread
dash of dried dill weed
1 tsp lemon juice
4 oz sliced habanero cheddar or jalapeno pepper jack cheese
1 doz grape tomatoes
a bit of fresh cilantro or parsley

Preheat toaster oven to 450F (Pizza setting). Prepare the tuna with the lemon and dill and a bit of mayo to your liking. Divide tuna on bread slices, spread evenly about each slice. Distrubute cheese on top of tuna, and then tomatoes on top of cheese. Top with a bit of cilantro or parsley. Bake 7-10 minutes, until bubbly and hot.

...and if you don't have tomatoes, use peppers or onions, or olives, or capers or...
