Tuna Filling

Method

Prepare the Tuna Filling

  1. 1

    Drain and Flake Tuna

    Open the canned albacore tuna, drain the liquid, and transfer the tuna to a mixing bowl. Flake the tuna with a fork.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add mayonnaise, chopped celery, red onion, Whidbey sauce, salt, and black pepper to the flaked tuna. Stir until well combined.

Assemble the Tuna Melt

  1. 3

    Preheat Skillet

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt.

  2. 4

    Prepare Bread

    Take two slices of bread and spread the tuna filling evenly on one slice of each.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle half of the shredded white cheddar cheese over the tuna-filled bread slices.

  4. 6

    Top and Grill

    Top with the remaining slices of bread. Grill in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown. Flip the sandwiches, add the remaining butter, and grill the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.
