🥪 Grilled Tuna Melt Sandwich
🧾 Ingredients (2 sandwiches)
Tuna filling
1 can tuna (in water or oil), well drained
2–3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional but great)
2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
1 tbsp chopped parsley or dill
1 tbsp chopped pickles or capers (optional)
Salt & black pepper to taste

Butter, softened
Lettuce or sliced pickles (optional, like in the photo)
👩🍳 Instructions
Prepare the tuna mixture
In a bowl, mix tuna, mayonnaise, mustard, red onion, herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until creamy.
Assemble the sandwich
Butter one side of each bread slice.
Place 2 slices bread butter-side down.
Add cheese, then a thick layer of tuna mixture.
Add lettuce or pickles if using.
Top with another slice of cheese and close with bread (butter-side up).
Grill
Heat a pan over medium-low heat.
Grill sandwiches 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
Press gently with a spatula for even crisping.
Serve

🔥 Tips
Low heat = perfectly melted cheese
Add a little grated cheese inside the tuna for extra creaminess
Try garlic butter instead of plain butter for café-style flavor
