📝 Ingredients

  • 2 (5-ounce) cans tuna, drained well
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon pickle relish
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt
  • 8 slices sourdough bread

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Combine fully drained tuna, celery, red onion, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, relish, garlic salt and pepper in medium bowl. Mix until combined.
  2. 2Spread 1 1/2 teaspoons Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt on one side of each of 8 slices bread. Heat large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 4 slices bread, buttered-side down, working in batches if necessary. Top each with 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Cook, covering with lid if needed, 3 minutes or until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Remove; set aside.
