tuna melt

Broiled fish sandwich

A tuna melt is a hot sandwich made with tuna salad and melted cheese, typically on toasted bread or an English muffin.

The tuna salad usually contains mayonnaise, and the cheese is often American or cheddar.

It's a staple of American diners and lunch counters: I'll have a tuna melt and a cup of coffee.
