Recipe: Tuna Melts with Bacon and Swiss Cheese with Low Fat Tuna Salad

Sandwiches
TUNA MELTS WITH BACON AND SWISS CHEESE

8 slices white bread
3 tbsp Fat-Free Thousand Island Dressing
8 slices fat-free Swiss cheese singles
8 slices low-fat bacon, cooked and drained
1 recipe Naked Tuna Salad (recipe follows)
3 tbsp Fleischmann's Fat Free Spread (or margarine)

Arrange bread in pairs of a work surface. Spread Thousand Island dressing over all slices. Top each piece of bread with a slice of cheese, folding the cheese in half to fit if necessary. Place 2 bacon slices on 4 of the slices on the opposite 4. Spread tuna salad on top of the 4 servings of bacon, then take the opposite halves of the sandwiches and gently invert them on top of the tuna halves.

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly spread the fat free spread over both sides of each sandwich. Place sandwiches in the preheated skillet and cook until lightly toasted bottom and flip and cook 3 minutes longer or until cheese has melted.

Cut in half and serve immediately.

1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise
4 egg whites, hard cooked and sliced
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
