Tuna Melt — Air Fryer

Tuna Melt prepared in an Air Fryer -- A Pinch of Joy

Tuna Melts were the first thing I made in my new air fryer.  I wasn’t expecting to buy one last Saturday – especially at the Kiwanis Garage Sale.  But there it was on the Silent Auction table, reserved for brand new products from members or sponsors.  I picked a random number and three hours later the air fryer was mine.  The Tuna Melts I made for lunch today were delicious.  I hope that is a good omen for my ownership!!

Start with a good tuna.  Usually that means a little more expensive – unless you can find a store brand that is just right.  Another random find one day when the store had run out of the national brand that was on sale.  Serendipitous because the substitute is so much better and actually costs less!   I used mounding tablespoons of mayonnaise because I didn’t want the tuna mixture to be dry.  Three mounded tablespoons of mayo and 1 scant (not quite full) tablespoon of Dijon mustard were just right for flavor and moistness.  The coleslaw mix was unobtrusive in a good way since it added “stick togetherness” and texture without overpowering the taste.  I’m thinking I will add it to the next cold tuna salad sandwich I make, too!

Since this was my introduction to the air fryer, it took longer to prepare lunch since I had to read the directions and find all the right buttons.   Things were fairly straightforward and it will be easier to use in future. I’m looking forward to trying other recipes.  Short Stuff, the eight year old nephew that shows up frequently, loves tater tots and would willingly eat them at every single meal!  The airfryer should be perfect for that!
