Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
- 0.25 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 stalk Celery
- 0.25 cups Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 slices Whole-grain bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
Finely chop the celery, red onion, and parsley, then add them to the tuna mixture.
Mix everything thoroughly until well combined, then set the mixture aside.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Take two slices of whole-grain bread and layer a slice of cheddar cheese on each.
Spread half of the tuna mixture evenly over one of the slices, then place the other slice (cheese-side down) on top to create a sandwich. Repeat to make another sandwich.
Butter one side of each sandwich and place it in the heated skillet, butter-side down. Then butter the top side of each sandwich.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing and serving.
