Ingredients

• 6 ounces Canned tuna
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 stalk, finely chopped Celery
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Red onion
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Bread slices
• 2 tablespoons, softened Butter
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned tuna from its liquid and add it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, finely chopped celery, finely chopped red onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the tuna.

Step 3

Mix all the ingredients together until well combined to form the tuna salad.

Step 4

Spread about a tablespoon of softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.

Step 5

To assemble the sandwich, place the buttered side of a bread slice down on a plate. Spread a generous amount of the tuna salad on the non-buttered side.

Step 6

Place two slices of cheddar cheese over the tuna salad, covering it well.

Step 7

Top with another bread slice, buttered side facing up. Repeat the process for the second sandwich.

Step 8

Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Step 9

Place the sandwiches into the skillet and cook until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Step 10

Remove from the skillet, let the sandwiches cool slightly, then slice in half and serve warm.
