Ingredients

Scale

1 (5 ounce) can tuna packed in water, drained
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices white sandwich bread
4 slices cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, chopped red onion, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, on a clean work surface.
Divide the tuna mixture evenly and spread it over the unbuttered side of the two bread slices on the work surface.
Top each with two slices of cheddar cheese.
Place the remaining two bread slices on top, buttered side up, to form sandwiches.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes on one side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
