Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 can(s) tuna, albacore -- drained
4 slice bread
1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded - extra sharp (cracker barrel is an excellent brand)
1/4 c parmesan cheese, grated
1-2 small green onion, chopped
1-2 tsp lime or lemon juice
2 Tbsp pickle relish, sweet
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
3-4 Tbsp horseradish sauce
2 Tbsp onion, minced or chopped
3 - 4 Tbsp butter
1 tsp herbes de provence
1 pinch salt and pepper

Steps:

1. Mix up your tuna, pickle relish, horsey sauce, spices, onion and green onion, lime or lemon juice....taste and see if you need more salt and pepper. ---- I wanted this spicy so I added 4 tbsp of horsey at least. This is all estimate cause I made it for the first time tonight. I LOVE horseradish! It's good for you too.
2. Butter your bread and then sprinkle on your Parmesan and pat it down into the butter. Assemble your sandwich with a little sharp cheddar first, then your tuna mix and then more cheddar...top with other slice of bread.
3. I cooked this up in my Ninja Cooking System but it could easily be pan fried or on the griddle too. The Parmesan give this an incredible crunchy crust...so good.
4. Cook 3 - 5 minutes on each side with a medium heat. If you want add a little oil to pan if you think that the butter isn't enough.
5. Slice up and serve with a yummy salad or some yummy fresh veggies, salad, chips or dill pickles....just delish.
