Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the mocha bread into your desired sandwich-sized portions (usually halved or in thirds). The sweet, fragrant aroma of the mocha bread will be a delightful base for your sandwich.
Step 2
Thoroughly drain the oil from the canned tuna using a sieve; this is crucial for a non-greasy, clean-tasting sandwich. Finely chop the onion and bell pepper, and make sure to drain any excess water from the canned corn. Preparing the ingredients well will significantly enhance the texture and flavor of your tuna salad.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, and drained corn. Add the mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together gently until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You’ve now created a creamy and savory tuna salad filling!
Step 4
Melt a knob of butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sliced mocha bread onto the hot skillet and toast until golden brown and slightly crisp. This toasting step adds a wonderful buttery aroma and a pleasing texture to the bread, elevating your sandwich.
Step 5
It’s time to assemble your sandwich! On one slice of the toasted mocha bread, layer fresh lettuce leaves. Follow with slices of cheese and ham. Generously spoon your prepared tuna salad mixture on top. Finally, place the other slice of toasted mocha bread on top to complete your delicious mocha bread tuna sandwich. Enjoy immediately or slice in half for a beautiful presentation.
