Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna (packed in water)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 0.5 medium Granny Smith apple (diced)
- 4 ounces Cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 4 slices Bread (sourdough or your favorite sandwich bread)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Open the can of tuna and drain it thoroughly.
In a medium bowl, mix the drained tuna, mayonnaise, curry powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the diced Granny Smith apple to the tuna mixture and gently fold it in to combine evenly.
Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread. The buttered side will be the exterior for grilling.
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, spread an even layer of the tuna and apple mixture.
Top the tuna mixture with an even layer of cheddar cheese, either sliced or shredded.
Place a second slice of bread on top of each, buttered side facing outward, to form two sandwiches.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Press down gently with a spatula for even cooking.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half if desired, and serve warm.
