I have tried that before too. I like putting a little butter on the buns before placing on the tuna mixture. That makes the buns a little softer on the inside. mmmm.

Yup...just like I do too. Sometimes I like to sprinkle some sweet basil on top of the butter before adding the tuna. That is always a nice flavor.

Now I am craving a tuna melt! Darn it, we don't have any tuna.

Me, too (craving it), but I'm lacking meltable cheese at the moment, not tuna!

I used to go often to a local bagel shop that had tuna melts served on a toasted bagel. Now that was good. These weren't honest to goodness NY bagels, but they were pretty close.
