Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Celery (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Sub rolls (6-inch)
- 8 slices Cheddar cheese (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Slice the sub rolls in half lengthwise, leaving one side slightly attached like a hinge.
Evenly divide the tuna mixture among the four rolls, spreading it onto the bottom half of each roll.
Place two slices of cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture in each roll.
Close the rolls and gently press them together.
Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on the outside of each roll, ensuring full coverage on both the top and bottom.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the stuffed rolls onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the sandwiches to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Cut in half for easier handling, if desired.
