Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a mixing bowl.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickle relish, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. Spread the tuna mixture evenly on 4 of the slices.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture on each sandwich.
Cover each sandwich with a second slice of bread to form 4 sandwiches.
Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each sandwich slice (both the top and bottom).
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet (depending on the size, you may need to cook in batches) and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown.
Flip the sandwiches carefully with a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool slightly, and slice them in half if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
