Ingredients:

  • 5 oz (142g) canned tuna in water, drained well
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 oz (57g) sharp cheddar cheese, sliced

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, red onion, dill, sriracha, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well with a fork until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  2. Generously butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  3. Place one slice of bread (butter-side down) in the frying pan. Layer half of the cheese on the bread, then spread the tuna salad evenly over the cheese. Top with the remaining cheese, then place the second slice of bread on top (butter-side up).
  4. Place the frying pan over medium heat. Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. If using a toastie maker, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Carefully remove the tuna melt from the pan and cut in half. Serve hot and enjoy!
