As well as moving into my first place, I’ve also started my first job, and already I’m finding that cooking anything besides a frozen pizza is difficult. So I’ve decided to try out some easy, quick recipes and post the best ones here. I’m focusing on dishes that takes less than ten minutes to prepare and use food that I normally have around. My first dish was an easy chicken parmesan.

What you need:

Two cans of tuna

One large spoonful of cottage cheese

Lemon juice from half a lemon

One large spoonful of mayo

One teaspoon of Dijon mustard

One stalk of celery, chopped

5-6 cherry tomatoes, chopped

Green onions, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Four slices of rye bread

2 thins slices of dill havarti

Prep (5 minutes to prepare, 3 minutes to cook):

Mix the above ingredients together then spread onto the rye bread and top with the havarti. I grilled mine panini-style in my George Foreman, but you could also broil them open-faced in your oven.

It’s a super easy and delicious spin on a traditional tuna melt!
