restaurantInstructions
1
Mix the tuna
Flake drained tuna in a bowl. Stir in mayo, mustard, lemon, onion, and celery. Season with salt and pepper. It should be moist, not soupy — add mayo a spoon at a time.
2
Build the sandwiches
Divide tuna onto 2 bread slices. Cover with cheese, then the remaining bread.
3
Griddle
Butter the outsides. Cook in a skillet over medium heat, 3–4 minutes per side, until the bread is browned and the cheese has melted into the tuna.
4
Cover if needed
If the bread is brown but the cheese is still stiff, lower the heat and lid the pan for 45 seconds.
5
Serve
Cut in half. Pickles or chips on the side. Eat while the cheese is still stretchy.
