Tuna Melt

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 2  medium zucchini (about 7 ounces each)
• Olive oil-flavored cooking spray
• 2  teaspoons  dried basil
• 1  teaspoon  dried thyme
• 1/8  teaspoon  pepper
• 4  (1-ounce) slices multigrain bread, toasted
• 1  (9-ounce) can solid white tuna in water, drained
• 1/4  cup  light mayonnaise
• 2  tablespoons  finely chopped red onion
• 16  (1/4-inch-thick) slices plum tomato
• 4  (3/4-ounce) slices 1/3-less-fat Swiss or fat-free American cheese

Preparation

Slice zucchini in half crosswise; then slice into 1/4-inch lengthwise slices.

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add half of the zucchini; cook 5 minutes. Turn slices over, sprinkle with half of the herbs and pepper; cook 5 minutes or until tender. Repeat with remaining zucchini, herbs, and pepper. Divide zucchini slices evenly among toast slices.

Combine tuna, mayonnaise, and onion in a small bowl, stir well. Spread 1/2 cup tuna mixture over each zucchini-topped bread slice; top each with 4 tomato slices and 1 cheese slice.

Place sandwiches on a baking sheet; broil 2 minutes or until cheese melts.
