Kicked Up Tuna Melts

Ingredients:
4 cans tuna, drained
1/3 c. mayonnaise, plus more for spreading
1/4 c. red onion, finely chopped
4 t. capers, rinsed and drained
1 T. lemon juice
1/2 t. coarse salt
1 t. ground pepper
1/4 t. dried oregano, crumbled between your fingers
4 slices crusty bread
8 slices tomato, thin
4 slices provolone

Directions:
Heat broiler, with rack in the highest position. In a medium bowl, combine tuna, mayonnaise, onion, capers, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and oregano and stir until thoroughly combined.
Arrange bread on a baking sheet and spread a little mayonnaise on each slice. Divide tuna salad evenly among the slices, then top each with 2 slices of tomato and 1 slice of cheese.
Broil until cheese is golden and bubbling, 3-4 minutes.

Makes 4. Total time 20 minutes.

Verdict:
This really is just a glorified tuna sandwich.
