Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 stalk, finely chopped celery
- 2 stalks, finely chopped green onion
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices (whole grain or white) sliced bread
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for toasting) butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your broiler to high.
Step 2
Drain the canned tuna well and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, green onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the tuna. Mix well until evenly combined.
Step 4
Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread (optional for added richness). If not buttering, proceed to the next step.
Step 5
Place the slices of bread on a baking sheet, buttered side down if applicable.
Step 6
Divide the tuna mixture evenly among the four slices of bread, spreading it out to cover the surface but leaving a small edge around the perimeter.
Step 7
Top each sandwich with a slice of cheddar cheese.
Step 8
Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and slightly bubbly. If using a broiler, cook for 2–3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Step 9
Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool for 1–2 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your hot tuna sandwiches with a side salad, chips, or soup!
