Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna in water
- 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped celery
- 1 tablespoon Chopped green onion
- 4 slices Slices of bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 slices Slices of cheddar cheese

Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and add it to a medium mixing bowl.
Mix in the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.
Fold in the chopped celery and green onion for added crunch and flavor.
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Lay two slices, butter side down, on a skillet or griddle.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly on the unbuttered side of the bread slices in the skillet.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese over the tuna mixture on each piece of bread.
Add tomato slices on top of the cheese if desired.
Top with the other slices of bread, buttered side up.
Turn the heat to medium and cook until the bread is golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2 more minutes.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.
