- Tomato: 1 medium-sized
- Cheese Slices: 2 slices
- Bread Slices: 4 slices

Preparation Instructions:
Prepare the Bread:
Spread mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice. You can substitute mayonnaise with any other preferred sauce for a twist in flavor.
Assemble the Sandwich:
Place a slice of cheese on the mayo-coated side of two bread slices. Flake the canned tuna with a fork and distribute it evenly over the cheese.
Add Tomatoes:
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and arrange them over the tuna. Cover each with the remaining bread slices, mayo side down.
Grill the Sandwich:
Heat a ridged grill pan over medium heat. Place the sandwiches on the grill and press down lightly with a lid or heavy skillet to compress them slightly. Grill for about 5 minutes or until the bread is toasted to a golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Serve Warm:
If desired, open the sandwiches slightly to tuck in a few leaves of lettuce or spinach before serving. Enjoy your Tuna Melt Sandwiches warm or at room temperature for a delightful and fulfilling meal.
