Tuna Melt Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna Salad

    In a medium bowl, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread the tuna salad evenly on one slice of bread. Top with sliced cheese and then place the second slice of bread on top.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tuna Melt

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

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the tuna melt from the skillet, allow to cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve warm.
