Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 2 slices Bread
  • 1 dish Tuna salad, prepared
  • 1 slice Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the tuna salad in a small dish, according to your favorite recipe. Set aside.
  • Spread butter on one side of a piece of bread.
  • Lay the bread, butter-side down, in a warm skillet.
  • Top the bread with a tablespoon or two of the tuna salad mixture and smooth evenly over the bread.
  • Top with a slice of cheese.
  • Butter another slice of bread and put it on top of the cheese, butter-side facing up.
  • Grill the sandwich until light brown.
  • Carefully flip the sandwich and grill until the second side is golden brown.

Notes

Any tuna salad recipe will work for this. I usually just do a simple tuna, mayo, salt, and pepper. Sometimes I'll also add a little onion powder.
