Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Tuna Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a layer of the tuna mixture on two slices of rye bread. Top with one slice each of Swiss and American cheese. Place the remaining slices of rye bread on top to form sandwiches.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwiches

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, place the sandwiches in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
