Ingredients

For the Tuna Salad:

• 1 can (5-6 oz) tuna drained
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard optional
• 1 celery stalk finely chopped
• ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
  
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Sandwich:

• 4 slices of bread such as sourdough, rye, or whole wheat
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter

Preparation

Make the Tuna Salad:

• In a bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, red onion, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
• Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Grill the Sandwich:

• Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
• Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface. On each slice, layer some of the tuna salad and a slice of cheese.
• Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.
• Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.

Serve:

• Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute or so before cutting in half.
