Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna in water
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 1 stalk Celery (finely diced)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 8 slices Bread slices (white, whole grain, or sourdough)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into small pieces.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped green onions, diced celery, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the tuna. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly onto 4 slices of bread (about 1/4 cup of filling per sandwich), ensuring it reaches the edges.
Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture for each sandwich.
Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top to close the sandwiches.
Butter the outer sides of each sandwich with the softened butter. Spread evenly to ensure golden, crispy results.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwiches in the skillet, cooking 2 at a time if necessary.
Cook each sandwich for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula to ensure even browning, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1–2 minutes. Cut in halves or quarters as desired and serve warm.
