Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna (in water)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks Celery, finely diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 slices Sourdough bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium mixing bowl.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, finely diced celery, red onion, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place two slices of sourdough bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet. Layer one slice of cheddar cheese on each piece of bread.
Spoon the tuna mixture evenly onto the cheese slices and spread it out gently.
Place another slice of cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture and cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the skillet, let rest for 1 minute, then cut in half and serve immediately.
