Ingredients

• 1 cup Tuna (canned, drained)
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Celery (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Red onion (finely chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 6 slices Sandwich bread
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the tuna filling and set aside.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until uniform. This will be the French toast batter.

Step 3

Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.

Step 4

Take two slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the tuna filling on one slice. Cover with the other slice to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling to create three sandwiches.

Step 5

Dip each sandwich into the French toast batter, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let any excess batter drip off.

Step 6

Place the battered sandwiches onto the skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add the remaining butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 7

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing in half.

Step 8

Serve warm, and enjoy the combination of sweet, savory, and creamy flavors in each bite!
