Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna in water, drained

- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine canned tuna, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, chopped celery, and chopped red onion. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush one side of each almond flour bread slice with melted butter.
Step 3
For each sandwich, place one buttered slice of bread into the skillet, buttered side down. Spoon half of the tuna mixture on top, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the tuna.
Step 4
Allow the cheese to begin melting, about 2 minutes, then cover with a second slice of bread, buttered side up.
Step 5
Carefully flip the sandwich and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is golden brown.
Step 6
Remove from heat and repeat for the second sandwich.
Step 7
To serve, place each sandwich on a plate and open it to add leafy romaine lettuce leaves inside. Close the sandwich and enjoy warm.
