Ingredients

  • about 142 g Canned Tuna
  • 1/4 cup Dairy-Free Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Celery
  • 2 tbsp Red Onion
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
  • 4 slices Gluten-Free Bread
  • 4 slices Dairy-Free Cheese Slices

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the about 142 g of canned tuna, 1/4 cup of dairy-free mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of celery, 2 tablespoons of red onion, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir everything together until it is well mixed.
  2. 2Spread half of the tuna mixture evenly onto one slice of the 4 slices of gluten-free bread. Place one of the 4 slices of dairy-free cheese on top of the tuna mixture.
  3. 3Place another slice of the 4 slices of gluten-free bread on top of the cheese to create a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining bread, tuna mixture, and dairy-free cheese slices to make a second sandwich.
  4. 4Heat a large skillet over medium heat, which is 150°C.
  5. 5Carefully place the two sandwiches into the heated skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the gluten-free bread is golden brown and the 4 slices of dairy-free cheese are melted and gooey. The sandwiches should sound like a gentle sizzle while cooking.
  6. 6Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for 1 minute before serving.
