Tuna Melt

Ingredients

  • 1 stalk of celery
  • 1 tomato
  • ½ a lemon
  • 2 cans tuna
  • 2 oz cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 4 slices whole wheat bread

Directions

  1. Rinse and dice celery. Rinse, core, and cut tomato into 4 thick slices.
  2. Rinse lemon and cut in half. In a small bowl, squeeze juice. Discard seeds.
  3. In a colander, drain tuna.
  4. Grate cheese.
  5. In a medium bowl, add tuna. Flake apart with a fork. Add celery, lemon juice, mayonnaise, and black pepper. Mix with fork until combined. If using dried herbs and hot sauce, stir in now.
  6. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 slices of bread. Cook until toasted on bottom, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan. Repeat with the other 2 slices. Remove the pan from heat.
  7. On the toasted side of each bread slice, add ½ cup tuna salad. Top with tomato slices and sprinkle with cheese (about 2 tablespoons each).
  8. Return the skillet to medium heat. Place 2 sandwiches in the skillet. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the underside is browned, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from the pan. Repeat with the other 2 sandwiches.
