Notes + Tips for High Protein Dill Pickle Tuna Melt
- Use your favourite bread! Personally, I really like a crusty multigrain or whole wheat bread but you can use whatever you prefer. Some bread types that would be delicious could be: sourdough, ciabatta or Italian bread.
- Prep the tuna filling in advance. If you are into meal prepping you can prep the tuna filling and create the sandwiches quickly for an easy lunch. I wouldn’t recommend making the sandwich in advance because it will go soggy.
- Add chips into your sandwich for some crunch. The crunchy potato chip layer is what makes this High Protein Dill Pickle Tuna Melt so special, it gives the sandwich a crunch and some extra flavour too!
