A triple layered favorite, bursting with a creamy tuna filling and melty fontina cheese. Fresh herbs and lemon give it a flavor packed punch. And while the ingredients are nicely simple, this is no humble melt!

Instructions

  • 1

    Place the egg in a small saucepan of boiling water and cook for 10 minutes.

  • 2

    Carefully remove the egg from the water and place in iced water to cool. Peel and finely grate.

  • 3

    Place all the filling ingredients in a bowl, add the grated egg and mix to combine.

  • 4

    Place half the bread, in a single layer, in the air fry basket and insert the basket into rack position 2. Set the oven to Broil, High, for 4 minutes and press Start to broil. Halfway through broiling, turn the bread over and broil the other side.

  • 5

    The bread should be lightly toasted. If not, broil it a little longer. Remove the bread from the basket and repeat with the remaining bread.

  • 6

    Place 8 slices of toast on a cutting board. Spread with the butter. Divide the tuna filling between the 8 slices and sprinkle with the cheese. Place 4 of the tuna toasts in the parchment lined roasting pan.

  • 7

    Insert the wire rack into position 5. Place the pan in the oven. Set the oven to Broil, Medium, for 5 minutes and press Start. When the oven signals, remove the pan, transfer the melts to the cutting board. Place the remaining tuna slices in the roasting pan and repeat.

  • 8

    Place half the tomato slices and lettuce on 4 of the tuna melts. Repeat layering with the remaining tuna melt slices, tomato and lettuce. Butter the remaining toast and place buttered-side down on top.

  • 9

    Insert a skewer into each corner of the stack, piercing through all the layers to hold the sandwich together. Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles and serve.
