Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tuna Salad

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

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread the tuna salad evenly on two slices of sourdough bread. Top with sliced tomatoes and shredded cheese. Place the other two slices of sourdough on top to form sandwiches.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwiches

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwiches and grill the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, another 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Serve

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