Description
A warm sandwich with creamy tuna salad and gooey cheese, grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can Canned Tuna, drained
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 stalk Celery, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Sweet Pickle Relish
- Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
- 1 cup Cheese (Cheddar, Swiss, or Monterey Jack)
- 2 slices Bread (sourdough, rye, or sturdy sandwich loaf)
- Butter or Olive Oil, for grilling
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, flake the tuna with a fork and add mayonnaise, Dijon, diced celery, relish, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread. Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the bread, butter-side down, until golden.
- Flip the bread, spoon a generous layer of the tuna mix onto one slice, and top with cheese. Press the second slice of bread on top if making a closed sandwich.
- Return the sandwich to the skillet and cover with a lid until the cheese melts. Alternatively, broil the sandwiches on a baking sheet for 2 to 4 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
- Let the sandwich sit for a minute before cutting in half and serving warm.
Notes
To prevent sogginess, drain the tuna well and toast the bread first. Optional: add various toppings like pickles or serve with sides such as chips or salad.
