Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Sharp kitchen knife.
  • Cutting board
  • Small saucepan
  • Baking sheet
  • Toaster or oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans of good tuna.
  • 1/2 cup of creamy mayonnaise.
  • 2 tablespoons of minced celery.
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh dill.
  • 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
  • 4 thick slices of bread.
  • 4 slices of Swiss cheese.
  • 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions
 

  • Drain the water from the tuna cans. Place the tuna in a bowl. Flake it well with a fork.
  • Add mayo, celery, and dill. Stir in the mustard and spices. Mix until everything is very smooth.
  • Butter one side of each bread slice. Toast them in a pan until golden. This adds a great crunch.

  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
