Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 gluten-free bread slices
- 10 ounces canned tuna, drained
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup celery, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons dill pickles, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, dill pickles, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Lay the gluten-free bread slices on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the tuna mixture over two slices of bread.
Place a slice of sharp cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture on each sandwich.
Top with the remaining slices of bread to form two sandwiches.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Add butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on one side, until the bottom is golden brown.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and continue cooking for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the other side is browned and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before cutting in half and serving.
