Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken or drained tuna with mayonnaise, chopped celery, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Melts

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. On the non-buttered side, place a generous amount of the chicken or tuna mixture, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwiches

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet, buttered side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown.

  4. 4

    Flip and Finish

    Carefully flip the sandwiches and grill the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately with your choice of French fries, cole slaw, or cottage cheese.
