Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices low-carb bread
- 8 ounces canned tuna
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 stalk celery
- 2 tablespoons red onion
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly to remove excess water or oil.
Finely chop the celery stalk and red onion. Combine them in a medium-sized bowl with the drained tuna.
Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the tuna mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Taste the tuna mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter to melt.
Place the low-carb bread slices on a plate and spread the tuna mixture evenly over two slices.
Top each tuna-covered slice with a piece of cheddar cheese.
Cover each with the remaining slices of low-carb bread to form sandwiches.
Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet and toast until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Remove the toasts from the skillet, cut in halves if desired, and serve warm.
