American · Main course · 15 min total

A classic comfort food: creamy tuna salad topped with melted cheese on crispy bread, perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 slices bread (sourdough or white)
• 2 slices cheddar or Swiss cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine drained tuna, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Spread the tuna mixture evenly on two slices of bread. Top each with a slice of cheese and the remaining bread slices.
3. Spread butter on the outside of each sandwich.
4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
5. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then slice in half and serve.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a dash of hot sauce or paprika to the tuna mixture.
• Serve with a side of potato chips or a simple green salad.
• If you prefer open-faced, broil the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes until cheese bubbles.
