Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Tuna (canned, drained)
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Celery (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 6 slices Sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the tuna filling and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until uniform. This will be the French toast batter.
Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
Take two slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the tuna filling on one slice. Cover with the other slice to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling to create three sandwiches.
Dip each sandwich into the French toast batter, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
Place the battered sandwiches onto the skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add the remaining butter to the skillet as needed.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing in half.
Serve warm, and enjoy the combination of sweet, savory, and creamy flavors in each bite!
