Tuna Melt with Cheddar Sandwich

• 2 cans (5 oz each) tuna in water (drained)
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
• 1 hard boiled egg, chopped (optional)
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 slices sturdy white or wheat bread
• 1 tbsp butter, softened

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, chopped celery, red onion, and hard boiled egg (if using). Mix until well combined.

2. 2

   Preheat your broiler to high

3. 3

   Place the bread slices on a baking sheet. Lightly toast them in the oven for about 1-2 minutes per side at 400°F (200°C) just to firm them up.

4. 4

   Remove from oven. Divide the tuna salad mixture evenly among the 4 slices of bread.

5. 5

   Top each sandwich with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese.

6. 6

   Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubble and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
