Tuna melt rematch

Ingredients

• 1 can Canned Tuna in Water (drained, about 5 oz)
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (full‑fat for best flavor)
• 1 stalk Celery (finely diced)
• 1 tablespoon Red Onion (finely minced)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
• 1/8 teaspoon Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 4 slices Sharp Cheddar Cheese (full‑fat, sliced)
• 4 slices Sourdough Bread (thick‑cut)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (softened, for spreading)

Instructions

1. Prepare Tuna Filling

   In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, diced celery, minced red onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir with a fork until evenly mixed but still slightly chunky.

   Time: PT5M

2. Butter the Bread

   Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. This will be the side that contacts the skillet.

   Time: PT2M

3. Assemble Sandwiches

   Place a slice of cheddar on the un‑buttered side of two bread slices. Top with a generous spoonful of tuna mixture, then add another slice of cheddar and the remaining bread slice, buttered side up.

   Time: PT2M

4. Cook the Tuna Melt

   Heat the skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sandwiches and cook 2‑3 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium heat

5. Rest and Serve

   Transfer the sandwiches to a plate, let rest for 1 minute, then cut diagonally and serve immediately.

   Time: PT1M
