Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna (in water)
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Dill pickle (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Celery (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Sourdough bread (slices)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 2 Cheddar cheese (slices)
- 1 handful Arugula (optional)
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly before transferring it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, dill pickle, red onion, celery, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the tuna. Mix well until all components are evenly combined.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Lay the bread butter-side-down on a clean surface.
On two of the bread slices, layer a slice of cheddar cheese, followed by an even amount of the tuna mixture. If desired, add a handful of arugula for a peppery kick.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, butter-side up, to form sandwiches.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing in half.
Serve the Rock Band Tuna Sandwich with your favorite chips or a side salad, and enjoy!
