Ingredients
- 2 6-ounce cans canned tuna in water, drained
- 0.333 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

- 4 pieces sourdough bread slices
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, celery, red onion, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 2
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Step 3
Place two slices of bread, butter side down, on a clean surface. Top each slice with a portion of the tuna mixture, spreading it evenly. Add two slices of cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture.
Step 4
Cover with the remaining slices of bread, butter side up, to create two sandwiches.
Step 5
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 6
Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Flip the sandwiches using a spatula and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the other side, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Step 8
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before cutting them in half.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your exceptional tuna melts!
