Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-oz cans Canned tuna
- 0.3333 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 medium Tomato
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and red onion.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, red onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the tuna. Mix until well combined.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Set the slices aside, buttered-side down.
Spread an even layer of the tuna mixture on the unbuttered side of two bread slices.
Top the tuna mixture with a slice of Swiss cheese and a few thin slices of tomato.
Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered-side up, to form two sandwiches.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
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.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice diagonally, and serve immediately.
