Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use mayonnaise instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, mayonnaise can be used as a substitute, but it will increase the fat content. For a healthier option, stick to Greek yogurt.

White bread is traditional and used here, but whole wheat or multigrain bread can add extra fiber and nutrients.
Can I prepare the tuna mixture in advance?
Yes, the tuna mixture can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, making it convenient for meal prep.
How can I melt the cheese without a microwave?
You can melt the cheese by toasting the bread with cheese in a toaster oven or under a grill for a minute or two until melted.
