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
Directions
Step 1
Open the can of tuna and drain it thoroughly.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the drained tuna, mayonnaise, curry powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Add the diced Granny Smith apple to the tuna mixture and gently fold it in to combine evenly.
Step 4
Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread. The buttered side will be the exterior for grilling.
Step 5
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, spread an even layer of the tuna and apple mixture.
Step 6
Top the tuna mixture with an even layer of cheddar cheese, either sliced or shredded.
Step 7
Place a second slice of bread on top of each, buttered side facing outward, to form two sandwiches.
Step 8
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half if desired, and serve warm.
