Tuna Melt Ingredients
Method
Tuna Melt Directions
Prepare the Tuna Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, chopped celery, chopped red onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Assemble the Sandwich
Take two slices of bread and spread a generous amount of the tuna mixture on each. Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Place the remaining two slices of bread on top to form sandwiches.
Cook the Tuna Melts
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the sandwiches, add the remaining butter, and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot with your favorite sides.
