Instructions
Make the Tuna Salad
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and place in a bowl. Add mayonnaise and finely diced celery then mix well until everything is fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toast the Bread
Place bread slices under the broiler or in the toaster until lightly golden on one side. This prevents the bread from going soggy when the tuna mixture is added on top.
Assemble and Broil
Spread the tuna mixture generously over each slice of toasted bread. Lay one slice of cheddar cheese on top of each tuna-covered piece then place back under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve Hot
Remove from the broiler immediately and let cool for just 30 seconds before serving. Serve open-faced and hot for the best texture and flavor combination.
