    I love putting 1/2 teaspoon of lemon pepper and 1 teaspoon onion powder in with two tablespoons mayo with a can of drained tuna fish. I would sprinkle mozzarella cheese into the mixture and then pan fry it with some non stick cooking spray.

    Although I don't have a specific tuna melt recipe, try substituting cheese with dairylea/similar brand light cheese triangles for a lighter calorie sandwich. The brand I've got has only got 42 calories per triangle (the 'light' brands have even less), and makes a fantastic substitute for melted cheese.

    They're fab for any meal where you're just going to melt the cheese anyway, so pizza, grilled sandwiches, mac + cheese, risotto etc. :)

    although you're a 49ers fan, I'll still help in this case (though you're losing this weekend :laugh:) I usually make mine a spicy tuna melt and use either sabra supremely spicy hummus or spinach and artichoke hummus with some sriracha mixed in for a kick instead of mayo. I always mix it up on the cheese, but usually cheddar and mozzarella mix comes out tasty. I grill mine on a panini press

    I usually throw a little light mayo into low sodium tuna (from the packet, not the can), and then mix in my favorite salsa. I put it on whatever healthy bread/roll I have handy and then cover with a serving of cheddar or whatever other cheese I have in the house. Stick it under the broiler until the cheese is melted. It's not a "traditional" tuna melt, but it kicks the craving to the curb.

    That made me hungry.

    Why are they called tuna melts? Why aren't they called tuna *cheese* melts, because it's the cheese you're melting...not the tuna? *shrugs*

    I do not know if this would taste like the Johnny Rocket Tuna Melt, but I may try this recipe tonight! I will use a oval roll, and also make a soup and salad to go with the sandwich for dinner. I think my fiance will like it also!:smile:
    The creme fraiche will be the most difficult part (time consuming). I will use my Calphalon grill to heat the sandiwiches up, but oven or toaster oven works as well.
