Ingredients
Method
- Drain the water or oil from the tuna.
- Place the tuna in a medium bowl and using a fork loosen it apart.
- To the tuna bowl add the onion, celery, garlic, parsley, mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and mix again.
- Place a nonstick skillet on the stove and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Heat over medium heat.
- Butter one side of a piece of bread and carefully place that slice butter side down into the now hot skillet.
- Now spoon about 3 heaping tablespoons of tuna filling onto the slice of bread in the skillet, more or less depending on how thick you like your sandwiches.
- Take another slice of bread and butter one side. Place that slice of buttered bread on top of the sandwich in the skillet with the butter side up.
- Watch for browning on the underside of the sandwich and grill until golden brown. Next flip the sandwich over and brown the other side.
- Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate.
Notes
You can place the tuna in a paper towel or a clean dish towel and wring out even more liquid, this makes for a less soggy sandwich.
If your butter is too hard to spread, place it in the center of the frying pan. When it has fully melted, spread it around a little and set your bread directly on top.
