Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped celery
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 slices Sliced bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Drain a 5 oz can of tuna and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add 2 tbsp of mayonnaise, 1 tsp of Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of black pepper, and 2 tbsp of chopped celery into the bowl with the tuna. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Spread 1 tbsp of butter on one side of each slice of bread (4 slices total).
Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Top each slice of bread in the skillet with one slice of cheddar cheese, followed by half of the tuna mixture, and then another slice of cheddar cheese.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, butter-side up, creating two sandwiches.
Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is golden-brown and the cheese has fully melted.
Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board, slice diagonally, and serve immediately.
