- 5 ounce canned tuna in water drained well
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 1-2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices bread such as ½-inch thick sliced ciabatta, sourdough or whole wheat
- 1 tablespoon salted butter softened to room temperature
- 2 ounces sliced sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 ripe tomato sliced, optional
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, plain Greek yogurt (or mayo), relish, red onion, salt and pepper. Stir with a fork until well combined.
Spread one side of each slice of bread with the softened butter.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering tuna, tomato slices (if using) and finally cheese, with the buttered side of the bread slices facing out.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sandwiches to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom piece of bread is golden brown. Then carefully flip and cook for about 3 minutes on the second side, until both sides of the sandwich are golden brown. Serve.
