Simple Tuna Melt Sandwiches are a quick and satisfying meal packed with protein.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of bread (your choice)

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped celery, and chopped onion. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice. On the unbuttered side of two slices, evenly distribute the tuna mixture. Top each with a slice of cheese, then place the remaining slices of bread on top, buttered side facing out.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Flip the sandwiches and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Cut in half and serve warm.
