How to Make Tuna Melts

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  2. Spread the tuna salad evenly onto five slices of bread.
  3. Top each slice of bread with a slice of cheddar cheese.
  4. Place the remaining bread slices on top to create five sandwiches.
  5. Lightly spray a large griddle or frying pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  6. Carefully place the sandwiches on the hot griddle. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve the tuna melts immediately with a side green salad, if desired. Enjoy!
