Can I use different bread?

Absolutely, I've made this on everything from sourdough to whole wheat to those little sandwich thins. Just know that very thin bread might toast faster, so keep an eye on it. My weirdest (but delicious) experiment? A leftover everything bagel—game changer.

No worries—Greek yogurt makes a great substitute. Or mash in half an avocado for creaminess. Just add it slowly so your mixture doesn't get too wet.

Please do, My mom always sneaks in diced celery or shredded carrots. Just pat them dry first—extra water makes soggy sandwiches (the enemy of all good tuna melts).

Help—my cheese isn't melting!

Two tricks: First, make sure your cheese is shredded small. Second, cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute—the steam works magic. And hey, extra cheese never hurt anybody.
