Ingredients

• 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna (packed in water)
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Curry powder
• 0.5 medium Granny Smith apple (diced)
• 4 ounces Cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)
• 4 slices Bread (sourdough or your favorite sandwich bread)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Open the can of tuna and drain it thoroughly.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the drained tuna, mayonnaise, curry powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Add the diced Granny Smith apple to the tuna mixture and gently fold it in to combine evenly.

Step 4

Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread. The buttered side will be the exterior for grilling.

Step 5

On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, spread an even layer of the tuna and apple mixture.

Step 6

Top the tuna mixture with an even layer of cheddar cheese, either sliced or shredded.

Step 7

Place a second slice of bread on top of each, buttered side facing outward, to form two sandwiches.

Step 8

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 9

Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Press down gently with a spatula for even cooking.

Step 10

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut them in half if desired, and serve warm.
