Ingredients

Method

Directions

  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 well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Tuna Melt

    Take two slices of white bread and place a slice of American cheese on each. Spread a generous amount of the tuna salad on top of the cheese and then top with another slice of American cheese. Cover with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet. Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut in half if desired, and serve hot.
