Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), basil pesto, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, place the slices of bread on the skillet and toast for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.

Place the remaining slices of toasted bread on top to complete the sandwiches.
Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.
