A warm and comforting tuna melt sandwich with a creamy tuna filling, melted cheese, and crispy golden bread.
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread (sourdough or sandwich bread)
- 1 can (150g) tuna, drained
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 2 slices cheese (cheddar or Swiss)
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- Place the tuna mixture on two slices of bread and top each with a slice of cheese.
