Stand up and take a bow loof...a solid five stars for this little beauty!!<br/>We are fans of Tuna Melts ( I like mine with Branston Pickle-an English thing I think!), so I never doubted that we would like this.<br/>I used fresh Parmesan and Black Pepper rolls from my local bakery ( delish!) and Dijon Mustard, as it didn't stipulate what sort to use.<br/>This was fantastic...we REALLY enjoyed this. The cream cheese was a great alternative to mayo, and the jalapeno ( I used the sliced ones from a jar!) was a fabulous addition.<br/>DH munched away with real gusto..and requested it again for lunch yesterday..this time no rolls, but made into quesadillas..which were equally scrummy!!<br/>Thanks loof...a much enjoyed recipe,that will be making a repeat appearance again soon!!<br/>Made for PRMR.

I'm not usually a fan of canned tuna, but for some reason I picked up a can, and needed something to do with it. After making this sandwich, I'm going to buy some more! I loved the creaminess from the cream cheese, so much better than mayo :) I used 2.5 ounces of tuna, and made one sandwich. I also used mild canned green chiles (about 1 teaspoon) instead of fresh jalepeno, and just to add a bit more vegetable to my meal, a couple of chopped canned artichoke hearts. I absolutely loved it, and plan to make a bunch to freeze for future lunches. Thanks for posting a real winner!

This was a nice little hot tuna recipe. My husband loves tuna melts, so I thought he would like it and he did except for my stale buns (don't use leftover frozen buns, buy some new nice hearty ones). I left out the pepper but added a few drops of hot sauce instead, otherwise made like the recipe called for. I can't eat cheese, but can handle a little cream cheese so I made mine in a separate bowl with no cheddar cheese and it still was very good. I think the cream cheese makes it such a nice smooth consistency.

I used a small 95g tin of tuna in spring water which gave me 2 1/4 ounces of tuna once drained and added to all the other ingredients as listed for 1 serve and put into a wholemeal/wholegrain bun and wrapped in alfoil and put in a 175c fan forced oven for 15 minutes and enjoyed this delicious warm sandwich and the addition of the chilli is so important, I used a small red thai chilli seeds and all, thank you loof, made for Aussie/Kiwi Recipe Swap #63 April 2012.

I loved the use of cream cheese instead of mayo in this sandwich, nice change! Next time, I would cut the mustard in half or maybe eliminate it, it overpowered the other flavors for me. I made as stated except left out the salt and used 2 5 oz cans of tuna because it looked too saucy with just one. Being someone who used to be afraid of hot foods, I never thought I would say this, but I would double the amount of jalapeno next time :), it wasn't spicy at all for me. Thanks for a great lunch! Made for 1-2-3 Hits.
