Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz canned tuna drained well
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup celery finely diced
  • 2 tbsp red onion minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup dill pickles chopped
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 2 tbsp butter softened
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place it in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add the mayonnaise, celery, red onion, fresh dill, Dijon mustard, chopped dill pickles, kosher salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  • Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, in the skillet. Top each slice with a generous scoop of the tuna mixture, spreading it evenly.
  • Place two slices of sharp cheddar cheese over the tuna on each sandwich, then top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
  • Grill for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom bread is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwiches with a spatula.
  • Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  • Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately.
