Step 1

Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium mixing bowl.

Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

Step 7

Place another slice of cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture and cover with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.

Step 8

Cook for 3-4 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
