Canned tuna fish varies in texture. Some are chunkier and some are more mushy so add the amount of mayo to your preferred taste. Some folks like their tuna extra creamy and some like it drier, with less. So add accordingly!Different breads will brown quicker than others. If the heat it too warm, the bread may brown quicker than the cheese can melt, so if the bread is very soft or has any sugar in the dough (check the bread ingredients) cook on a little lower heat to make sure the cheese gets to melt by the time the bread browns. It will take a little longer but you’ll get an even browning to cheese melt ratio.
