📝 Instructions

10 steps
1

Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

2

Finely chop the fresh parsley and red onion.

3

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, red onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the tuna. Mix until well combined.

4

Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Set the slices aside, buttered-side down.

5

Spread an even layer of the tuna mixture on the unbuttered side of two bread slices.

6

Top the tuna mixture with a slice of Swiss cheese and a few thin slices of tomato.

7

Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered-side up, to form two sandwiches.

8

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

9

Carefully 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 is fully melted.

10

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice diagonally, and serve immediately.
