Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Dan-O’s Crunchy™ Seasoning
- 2 cans of tuna (5 oz each), drained
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or rye works great)
- 4 slices of cheddar, Swiss, or provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Tuna Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, Dan-O’s Crunchy™, celery, and red onion. Mix well until evenly combined.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the tuna mixture evenly onto two slices of bread. Top each with a slice of cheese and place another slice of bread on top to create a sandwich.
3. Butter the Bread: Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the outside of each sandwich. This will help the bread toast to golden perfection.
4. Cook the Tuna Melts: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately with your favorite side, like a fresh salad, chips, or a bowl of soup. Add a slice of tomato or some pickles for extra flavor.
