Ingredients

• 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 stalk, finely chopped Celery
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Red onion
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Bread slices
• 2 tablespoons, softened Butter
• 2 slices Cheddar cheese
• 4 pieces Tomato slices
• 2 pieces Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Open the can of tuna, drain the liquid, and transfer the tuna into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, finely chopped celery, and red onion to the bowl with tuna. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 3

Season the tuna mixture with salt and black pepper, then stir to incorporate the seasoning evenly.

Step 4

Butter one side of each bread slice. Arrange 2 slices, butter side down, on a cutting board or plate.

Step 5

Spread half of the tuna mixture evenly on each of the 2 bread slices. Top the tuna with a slice of cheddar cheese, 2 tomato slices, and a lettuce leaf.

Step 6

Place the remaining bread slices on top of the filling, butter side up, to form sandwiches.

Step 7

Heat a skillet or griddle pan over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Flip the sandwiches carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool slightly, and then cut them in half diagonally if desired.

Step 10

Serve the toasted tuna sandwiches warm and enjoy!
