Tuna Melt Ingredients

Method

Tuna Melt Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Tuna Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place one slice of bread on a clean surface. Spoon half of the tuna mixture onto the bread, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the tuna. Top with the second slice of bread.

  3. 3

    Cook the Tuna Melt

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown. Flip the sandwich, add the remaining cheese on top, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice in half and serve hot.
