Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (about 5 ounces) canned tuna
- 4 slices gluten-free bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 stalk celery
- 0.25 small onion
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the celery and onion and add them to the bowl with the tuna.
Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt to the tuna mixture and stir well until everything is evenly combined.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Butter one side of each slice of gluten-free bread.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet.
Divide the tuna mixture evenly onto the slices in the pan.
Top each with two slices of cheddar cheese.
Cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
Cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet, let cool slightly, then cut each toast in half and serve warm.
