Ingredients
- 4 slices Gluten-free sandwich bread
- 1 can (5 ounces) Canned tuna (in water, drained)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Celery (finely chopped)
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (slices)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened, gluten-free)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped red onion, chopped celery, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a uniform tuna salad mixture.
Step 2
Preheat a panini press or a grill pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Lay out the 4 slices of gluten-free bread. Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each slice.
Step 4
On the unbuttered side of two bread slices, spread a generous portion of the tuna salad mixture.
Step 5
Top the tuna salad with a slice of cheddar cheese, then place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side facing out.
Step 6
If using a panini press, place the sandwiches inside and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If using a grill pan, press down on the sandwiches with a spatula or a heavy pan, and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Step 7
Remove the panini from the heat, let rest for 1 minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
