Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Canned tuna
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 stalk, finely chopped Celery
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Bread slices
- 2 tablespoons, softened Butter
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna from its liquid and add it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, finely chopped celery, finely chopped red onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the tuna.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined to form the tuna salad.
Spread about a tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
To assemble the sandwich, place the buttered side of a bread slice down on a plate. Spread a generous amount of the tuna salad on the non-buttered side.
Place two slices of cheddar cheese over the tuna salad, covering it well.
Top with another bread slice, buttered side facing up. Repeat the process for the second sandwich.
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches into the skillet and cook until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Remove from the skillet, let the sandwiches cool slightly, then slice in half and serve warm.
