Ingredients
- 1 5 oz. can of tuna fish drained (5 oz)
- 2 slices of American or Cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
- 3 small kosher dill pickles optional
- 4 slices bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, mix drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, red onion, chopped dill pickles, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
-
Lay out the bread slices on a baking sheet.
-
Flip two of the bread slices over, so the buttered side is facing down.
-
Evenly distribute the tuna mixture over the unbuttered side of the two slices.
-
Top each with a slice of American or cheddar cheese.
-
Place the remaining two slices of bread on top of the tuna and cheese slices, buttered side up.
-
Broil on low until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the slices of bread are toasted. This can take about 2-3 minutes.
-
Flip sandwich over half way through cooking.
-
Remove from the oven and slice the sandwiches in half.
Recipe Notes
Broiler temperatures can differ from oven to oven, so keep an eye on your sandwiches the first few times you make this. Also, white bread can toast quicker than sourdough bread or whole wheat.
