Ingredients
1(12 oz) cansolid white tuna(the big can), well drained
In a medium mixing bowl toss together drained tuna, mayonnaise, red onion, pickles, parsley, dill and lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread 1/2 Tbsp of butter on just one side of each slice of bread.
Lay 3 slices of bread buttered side down. Top the bread with an even layer of tuna salad, then tomato slices and cheese (dividing evenly among the three slices).
Top with remaining 3 bread slices buttered side up.
Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Cook sandwiches about 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown on bottom, then turn (careful not to let cheese fall out). Cook on opposite until golden brown on bottom and cheese has melted, about 2 to 3 minutes longer.
Slice each tuna melt in half and serve.
Notes
If you use standard size slices of bread you can get 4 sandwiches out of the recipe. Bread used here was wider slices.
