1
Prepare the Tuna Mixture
In a bowl, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, chopped pickles, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
2
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread the tuna mixture evenly on one slice of bread. Top with one slice of swiss cheese and one slice of cheddar cheese. Place the second slice of bread on top to form a sandwich.
3
Grill the Sandwich
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet, cooking until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, another 3-4 minutes.
4
Serve
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
