Ingredients

Instructions

1

Preheat broiler. Mix tuna, mayonnaise, celery, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

2

Butter one side of each bread slice. Toast buttered-side down in a skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until golden.

3

Place toasted bread on a sheet pan, toasted-side down. Divide tuna mixture onto each slice and top with cheddar cheese.

Tip: Use oil-packed tuna for richer flavor, or solid white albacore in water for a lighter version.

4

Broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Serve open-faced or sandwiched together.
