Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 stalk (finely chopped) celery
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) red onion
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon (optional) chopped parsley
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna and transfer the tuna to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add mayonnaise, dijon mustard, lemon juice, finely chopped celery, and red onion to the bowl. Mix everything until well combined.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir once more to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the buttered side of the bread slices until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Place the toasted bread slices on a baking sheet, toasted side down.
Evenly divide the tuna mixture among the slices of bread, spreading it over the untoasted side.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the tuna mixture on each slice.
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high. Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
