Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Frying Pan
- Chef's Knife
- Cutting Board
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 can white albacore tuna 12-ounce can packed in water (drained)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 stalk celery finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley minced
- 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven's broiler.
- In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients (except bread and cheese). Toss with a fork until well-mixed.
- Place the bread slices on a broiler pan or baking sheet. Divide the tuna mixture evenly among the slices. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the tuna mixture.
- Place under the oven broiler and grill until the tops just begin to bubble (about 4 minutes). Be careful not to let the cheese brown too much, and you don't want the bread to burn.
- Serve immediately.
