Instructions
Make the Tuna Salad
In a medium bowl combine drained tuna mayonnaise mustard salt and pepper. Mix well until creamy and fully combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Toast the Bread
Toast all 8 bread slices in a toaster or under the broiler until lightly golden. This prevents the bread from becoming soggy once the tuna is added.
Assemble and Melt
Spoon the tuna mixture generously onto 4 toast slices and spread evenly. Top each with one slice of cheese. Place under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly bubbly.
Top and Serve
Place the remaining toast slices on top to complete the sandwiches. Cut diagonally and serve immediately while the cheese is still warm and gooey.
