Tuna Salad Ingredients

Method

Tuna Melt Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna Salad

    In a mixing bowl, combine the canned albacore tuna, mayonnaise, chopped hard boiled eggs, diced celery, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous amount of tuna salad on one slice of grilled wheat bread. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and place another slice of grilled bread on top.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and 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 sandwich from the skillet, cut in half, and serve warm.
