INGREDIENTS
2 tuna fillets cooked as desired
Onion, medium size, chopped
1/2 stalk celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 TBSP parsley, chopped
4 TBSP mayonnaise
3 TBSP olive oil, divided
1/3 cup mozzarella, shredded
Bread, sliced
Butter, softened
Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Cook tuna in cast iron skillet until fillets flake easily with a fork. Set aside.
Chop onion, celery, and parsley.
Mince garlic and add ingredients to tuna.
Add mayonnaise, olive oil, and mozzarella cheese.
Combine all ingredients until well incorporated.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Place a non-stick skillet on the stove and add 1 TBSP of olive oil.
When the skillet is hot, take a slice of bread and generously spread butter on one side.
Place the bread (buttered side down) in the hot skillet. Be sure to keep the temp at a consistent heat.
Using a spoon, scoop about 2 TBSP of tuna salad onto bread while it is browning.
Butter another slice of bread and place non-buttered side on top of tuna.
Using a spatula, check to see if the bread is toasted brown. If so, turn the tuna melt over and grill the other side until it’s golden brown.
Serve.
