Tuna Melt Sandwich
A hot cafe-style sandwich with creamy canned tuna salad, crisp griddled bread, and melted cheese.
Method
- 01
Drain the canned tuna very well, pressing out excess liquid so the sandwich does not become soggy. Flake it into a bowl with a fork.
- 02
Mix the tuna with 4 tablespoons mayonnaise, celery, red onion, 2 chopped pickled cucumbers, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons mustard, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning; the salad should be creamy but not wet.
- 03
Lay out the 8 bread slices. Butter the outside faces with 40 g softened butter, then build 4 sandwiches with 160 g cheese against the bread and tuna salad spread evenly in the center.
- 04
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Cook the sandwiches in batches, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bottom bread is golden and crisp.

- 05
Flip carefully and cook the second side until the bread is toasted and the cheese is fully melted. Rest for 1 minute, then cut and serve hot.
