A great way to spice up a sandwich is using just slightly different ingredients to give it a different twist. I’ve been making tuna melts for a while now as they are one of my favorite sandwiches and I normally just use sharp cheddar cheese. In this sandwich I used an apple smoked gruyere and it tasted great melted in between the layers of bread and tuna. It took an otherwise plain sandwich into a really tasty dinner. I added a little dill and dijon mustard to the tuna which gave the tuna a nice flavor too.
