Grilled Tuna Cheese Sandwich

Crunchy buttery toasts with sweet, tangy tuna salad in between plus melted cheese to balance it all! This grilled tuna cheese sandwich is easily my ultimate go-to light meal. Serve it with your favorite hot drink (mine is milky hot chocolate) and your day is complete.

The best Tuna Melt Sandwich

I always like my sandwich with a chunky texture. Celery, cucumber, and onions or green onions are my staple ingredients; whichever is available.

Tuna Melt Sandwich Ingredients

Now let's talk about the dressing. Tangy with a touch of sweetness has always been my weakness. So I add honey or sugar and then pickle relish or lemon juice for tanginess.

Tuna Melt Sandwich Bowl

In my opinion, a tuna sandwich should always be served warm. So spread some butter over the slices of bread before grilling. Please don't skip the butter. It is worth every calorie. That I promise!

Ingredients
 

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon honey (or sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon pickle relish
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 canned tuna in water (drained)
  • 1 stalk celery (chopped into small bits)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions or yellow onions (chopped into bits)
  • 1 cup cheese (grated or 4 sliced cheese)
  • 8 slices bread
  • butter (softened)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, honey, pickles. Season with salt and pepper.  Add in the tuna, celery, and onions. Mix it all together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly.
  • Spread mixture on bread slices. Add in cheese then top with remaining bread slices. Spread both sides of the bread with butter (see video).
  • In a pan over low heat, grill the sandwiches for 2 minutes on each side until bread is golden brown. Cover with a lid so that the cheese will melt easily.
    Serve with your favorite hot drink and enjoy!

Recipe Notes and Tips:

  • Other vegetables that can be added are cucumber, bell peppers, and red onion.
  • Honey can be substituted with white sugar.
  • Use good quality mayonnaise. I love brands like Lady's choice and Best Food.
