HOW TO MAKE CHEESY TUNA MELTS
First, you will want to preheat the oven to 325°.
Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and then spread out your cheese so each slice doesn’t touch the on next to it.
I like to use Jalapeno jack cheese slices but you can also make them with mozzarella slices.
Bake the slices of cheese until they are melted (approx. 4 mins).
While the cheese is baking, you’ll want to prepare the tuna.
In a mixing bowl, mix the drained cans of tuna and mayonnaise together.
If you like a little kick to your tuna, add salt and pepper, chopped pickles, chopped onions, chopped cherry peppers, chopped bacon, and a splash of red hot. Mix until well combined.
Once the cheese slices have melted, remove them from the oven. Add 2 spoonfuls of tuna to the corner of each cheese slice.
Next, fold the squares in half to make a triangle shape. Press down all around the sides to enclose the tuna.
Place the baking sheet back in the oven for approx. 8 minutes or until the edges are golden.

Trying this now. It’s difficult to fold the hot cheese over the tuna so I’m letting the cheese cook a bit before I proceed
