Grilled Cheese Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna Salad

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

  2. 2

    Assemble the Melt

    Spread the tuna salad evenly on one slice of bread. Top with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and then sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Place the second slice of bread on top to form a sandwich. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, adding the remaining butter as needed.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Once grilled, remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half, and serve warm.
