Ingredients
  

2 cans (5 oz each) tuna packed in water, drained

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup finely chopped celery

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 slices of sourdough or whole-grain bread

4 slices of sharp cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

1 tablespoon butter (for grilling)

Fresh parsley or dill for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix gently until well incorporated.

    Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Stir in the chopped red onion, celery, and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until everything is evenly combined. Set aside.

      Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out two slices of bread on a clean surface. Spoon the tuna mixture generously onto each slice, then top with a slice of cheese. Place the remaining two slices of bread on top to form sandwiches.

        Grill the Sandwiches: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface of the pan. Carefully place the sandwiches in the skillet.

          Cook Until Golden: Grill the sandwiches for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Flip the sandwiches gently and grill the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes.

            Serve: Once both sides are perfectly crispy and the cheese is melted, remove from the skillet and let them sit for a minute. Cut in half diagonally and garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired. Enjoy your Melty Tuna Bliss!
