Directions
Move your oven rack so it's about 6 inches from the heat, then turn on the broiler to preheat. Lay the bread slices out in a single layer on a baking sheet and pop them under the broiler for about a minute on each side, just until they're lightly toasted. While the bread is toasting, mix together the tuna, mayo, lemon juice, lemon zest, and dill in a bowl until everything is well combined. Once the bread is toasted, spread the tuna mixture evenly over each slice. Then, add a few tomato slices on top and finish with a generous layer of Swiss cheese. Put the baking sheet back in the oven and broil everything for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn!
Serving Options
Serve these sandwiches with a crisp green salad or some crunchy vegetable sticks. A side of pickles or a light soup also pairs well to balance the richness of the melt.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover tuna filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Assemble and toast the sandwiches fresh for the best texture and flavor. Avoid storing assembled sandwiches as the bread may become soggy.
