Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 10 Oz Canned Tuna Drained
- 1 Tbsp Fresh Dill
- 2 Tbsp Red Onion Diced
- 2 Tbsp Celery Diced
- ¼ Cup Mayo
- 2 Large Hard Boiled Eggs Diced
- 8 American Cheese Slices
- 8 White Bread Slices
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Pickles Recipe
- Butter Room Temperature
Instructions
Hard Boiled Eggs
- Using a tack, poke a hole at the bottom of each egg. Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs and bring it to a boil.
- Turn off the heat and cover. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Immediately transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Once cool, gently peel the eggs under running water. Dice and set aside.
Tuna Salad
- Add the drained tuna, dill, red onion, celery, mayo, and boiled eggs. Stir until thoroughly combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices on a baking sheet with the buttered side facing down.
- Spread some tuna salad on each slice of bread, and add 2 slices of American cheese on top. Then, lay the top slice of bread butter-side down on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Add lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Then add the top slice of bread.
- Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- You don't want to add the top slice of bread while baking, making it easier to add your toppings without messing with the melted cheese.
- This sandwich will also go well with cheddar cheese.
