Tuna and cheese panini Recipe

Italian · Main course · 15 min total

A quick and satisfying Italian-style panini with creamy tuna salad and melted cheese, perfect for a hearty lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix tuna, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and pepper until well combined.
2. Lay bread slices on a work surface. Divide tuna mixture evenly onto two slices, spreading to edges. Top each with 2 slices provolone cheese and remaining bread slices.
3. Spread butter on the outside of each sandwich (top and bottom).
4. Heat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, press sandwiches with a heavy pan or spatula.
5. Cook sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side, until bread is golden and cheese is melted. Serve hot.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add sliced tomatoes or red onion before grilling.
• Serve with a side of pickles or potato chips.
• If you don't have a panini press, use a cast-iron skillet and press with another heavy pan.
