1
Prepare the Tuna Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drained), mayonnaise, finely chopped celery, finely chopped red onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2
Assemble the Sandwich
Spread half of the cheddar cheese on one slice of bread. Spoon the tuna mixture on top of the cheese, and then top with the remaining cheddar cheese. Place the second slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.

3
Butter the Bread
Spread butter evenly on the outside of both slices of bread.
4
Grill the Tuna Melt
In a skillet over medium heat, place the sandwich, buttered side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown, then carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.
5
Serve
Once both sides are golden and the cheese is melted, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Allow it to cool for a minute before slicing in half and serving.
