Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can(s) ( 5 - 6 ounces ) white albacore tuna, drained very well. i use a small holed collander and press the tuna till no liquid remains, then flake the tuna
1/2 - 3/4 c shredded swiss cheese
1/4 - 1/2 c sour cream
1/4 - 1/2 c mayonnaise
1/4 c onion, chopped
1/4 c celery, chopped
salt and pepper, however much you like
8 slice bread, your choice..i like this on rye, but used italian today
butter, softened to spread on the bread

Steps:

1. Drain the tuna very well. (this is very important).
2. In a small bowl; blend all of the ingredients. Except the bread and butter.
3. Spread about 1/4 to 1/2 cup on 4 slices of bread.
4. Top with remaining 4 slices of bread. I then take 3 - 4 tablespoons of butter and zap it in the microwave for a few seconds, just long enough to soften to spreadable consistency. Spread each side of the bread.
5. Over medium heat; on a griddle or I use an iron skillet, brown each side of the sandwich 4 - 5 minutes per side.
6. These are so good. Sometimes I add a dash of cayenne pepper to them, for an extra kick..
