Tarragon Tuna Melt

~from Savoring Time in the Kitchen

Serves 2

1 5-oz can albacore tuna in water, broken into flakes

1 small green onion, chopped

1 tablespoon or more red sweet pepper, chopped

1 tablespoon celery, chopped

1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons Hellmann's (or Best Foods if you live west of the Rockies) Light Mayonnaise

1 small baguette, sliced in half crosswise and lengthwise (you can use Pillsbury Refrigerated Crusty French Loaf - follow package instructions for baking)

Cheddar cheese slices

Preheat broiler. 

Mix the first 7 ingredients together in a small bowl until blended.

On a small baking pan, place baguette halves upside-down under broiler just to toast lightly.  Remove and place right-side up. Divide tuna salad mixture on baguette slices, top with cheddar cheese slices and place under broiler long enough to melt the cheese until bubbly but watching carefully not to burn. 

Serve immediately.
