For the ultimate golden crunch, melty goodness and gooey cheese, I recommend using a frying pan and lightly buttering the outside of the bread before cooking!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serving suggestions<\/strong> &#8211; A tuna melt pairs perfectly with crunchy potato chips, pickles, coleslaw or a fresh green salad for balance. For something warm, try a comforting bowl of tomato soup, crispy sweet potato fries, or roasted potatoes. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Storing<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; the <strong>tuna melt filling <\/strong>can be stored in an\u00a0<strong>airtight container in the fridge\u00a0<\/strong>for up to 3-4 days.
