Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Ciabatta sliced in half longwise (I picked mine up at Trader Joes, it's wonderful!)
  • 4 tbsp soft butter
  • 1 tsp Lawry's Garlic Seasoning
  • 2 slices swiss cheese
  • 2 cans albacore tuna drained
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or however much you prefer
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 2 tbsp dill pickle juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
  • pinch of kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
  • 2 cups baby spinach leaves fresh

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place ciabatta slices onto a baking sheet, cut side up. Butter both sides with butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt.
  • Top each slice of bread with swiss cheese then bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bread is crusted. Remove from oven.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, pickles, salt and pepper. Place tuna mixture onto bottom slice of bread, top with spinach leaves, then top with the other piece of ciabatta. Slice and eat!
