Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Put the chickpeas in a mixing bowl and use an avocado masher or a strong fork to mash them well. They should retain some of their texture and not appear pureed. Leaving a few whole chickpeas is okay. Mix in the mayo, salt, and pepper to taste and mash a little bit more. Fold in the dill and onion flakes. Mix in the carrot and celery. Taste for salt and seasoning.

Step 2

Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet. Bake them for 3 to 5 minutes, just to get them a little toasty. Remove the bread from the oven, handling the slices carefully because they will be hot. Let cool until you can comfortably handle them.

Step 3

Spread about ¼ cup (60 g) of the tuna salad onto each slice. Spoon on the cheese, dividing it equally among the slices. Return the baking sheet to the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melty and hot.

Step 4

Transfer the tuna melts to plates and top with slices of avocado, fresh dill, and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt and extra black pepper, if desired.
