Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped celery
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 4 slices Sliced bread
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
Directions
Step 1
Drain a 5 oz can of tuna and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add 2 tbsp of mayonnaise, 1 tsp of Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of black pepper, and 2 tbsp of chopped celery into the bowl with the tuna. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3
Spread 1 tbsp of butter on one side of each slice of bread (4 slices total).
Step 4
Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Top each slice of bread in the skillet with one slice of cheddar cheese, followed by half of the tuna mixture, and then another slice of cheddar cheese.
Step 6
Place the remaining slices of bread on top, butter-side up, creating two sandwiches.
Step 7
Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning.
Step 8
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is golden-brown and the cheese has fully melted.
Step 9
Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board, slice diagonally, and serve immediately.
