Tuna Melt Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 (5 oz) cans tuna in water, drained
  
  

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  
  

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  
  

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
  
  

• 1 tablespoon chopped celery (optional for crunch)
  
  

• Salt and pepper to taste
  
  

• 4 slices of bread (sourdough, rye, or sandwich bread work well)
  
  

• 4 slices cheddar or Swiss cheese
  
  

• 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting)
  
  

Instructions:

1. Make the tuna salad:
   In a bowl, mix drained tuna, mayo, mustard, onion, celery (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
   
   

2. Assemble the melts:
   Lay out the bread slices. Spread tuna salad evenly on two of them. Top each with a slice of cheese, then place the remaining bread on top to make sandwiches.
   
   

3. Cook the sandwiches:
   Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add butter. Once melted, add sandwiches and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing slightly, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
   
   

4. Serve hot:
   Slice in half and enjoy with chips, pickles, or a simple green salad.
