Making a tuna melt, in my opinion, is one of the easiest ways to satisfy a comfort-food craving. It's all that gooey, cheesy goodness not-so-neatly packed into a hand-held sandwich. It's like seafood's answer to the meatball sub. And if you are suddenly craving one or the other now that I've mentioned it, I can at least provide you with a no-fail, delicious recipe for the tuna melt. This one is open-faced, so you can even use a fork if you're feeling particularly neat today...
