Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cans tuna, oil packed, drained
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 slices bread
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
4 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the tuna, mayonnaise, celery, pickle relish, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • On a cutting board, butter one side of each slice of bread. Flip the bread over so it is buttered-side down. Divide the tuna mixture between 2 slices of bread. Top with the cheddar cheese, then place the other slices of bread on top, buttered-side out.
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan and cook, without moving, for about 2 minutes, until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwiches over and continue to cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese has melted, 2 minutes more.
  • Transfer the tuna melts to a cutting board and cut in half. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
