Hard Boiled Eggs Not Required

Usually, I top this with tomato slices from my neighbor’s garden. (You didn’t think I would grow my own garden too?!)  No tomato.  No problem.  I just topped it with hard boiled egg.  While I cooked the eggs, I made up the tuna salad.  It would be great with hard boiled eggs inside the mix, but I didn’t do it this time.

Tuna Melt

Turn oven on to broil. Slice french bread in half. Butter the slices and place on cookie sheet in oven until very lightly browned on top. Remove from oven and let sit while you mix up the tuna salad (or mix up tuna salad while it’s browning. Just don’t overcook your bread, or it will be chewy).
