Ingredients

  • 1 (5 oz) can Bumble Bee® Solid White Albacore, drained
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 medium white onions, sliced
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • Butter or substitute for bread, to taste
  • 4 slices (or more!) cheddar cheese
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, sliced

Directions

In a large pan on medium heat, add olive oil. Cook sliced onions for 5 minutes, until starting to soften. Reduce heat to medium-low, stirring from time to time (10-15 min) until caramelized, dark and soft. Set aside.

In a bowl, mix tuna, mayonnaise, chives, salt and pepper. Set aside.

Butter each slice of sourdough liberally and grill. Once toasted, flip and add a slice (or two) of cheese to bread to melt. Repeat for each slice of bread.

To assemble the sandwich, place the tuna on a bottom slice of cheesy bread. Layer with onions, then jalapeño. Top with another cheesy toasted bread, cheese side down. Caution: Ooze patterns vary.
