1
Prepare the Tuna Salad
In a bowl, combine the canned tuna and mayonnaise. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2
Assemble the Sandwich
Lay out one slice of marbled rye bread. Spread a generous portion of the tuna salad on top. Add a slice of American cheese and a leaf of romaine lettuce. Top with the second slice of marbled rye.
3
Grill the Sandwich
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Place the assembled sandwich 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
Serve
Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
