   Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Butter the outside of each slice of bread and transfer (unbuttered side down) to the hot skillet. Once lightly toasted, flip, then top one side with two slices of american cheese. On the other side, carefully spread with mayo and top with carefully spread with desired amount of tuna. Place the side with cheese on top and press to flatten with a spatula. Cook until golden on both sides.
