Maple Tuna Olive Toastie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1/2 large sweet red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 (5 ounce) cans tuna, drained
2 tablespoons creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip(R))
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (12 ounce) loaf Italian olive bread
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Preparation

Heat butter in a small frying pan over medium heat, and cook and stir onion for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in maple syrup, and cook until onions are soft and golden, 7 to 10 minutes.
Set oven rack about 8 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Stir together tuna and salad dressing in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Slice bread loaf in half horizontally, then halve both pieces lengthwise, making four equal pieces. Place bread, crust-side down, on a baking sheet. Layer tuna mixture, onion, and Cheddar cheese evenly over bread pieces.
Broil in the preheated oven until cheese is bubbly, about 5 minutes.
