This will be the outside that gets crispy.Assemble:Place bread butter-side down.Add 1 slice cheddar, then half the tuna mix, then another slice cheddar, then top bread butter-side up.Cheese on both sides helps it melt and hold together.Grill: Heat a pan on medium heat. Place sandwich and cook 3-4 mins per side, pressing lightly, until bread is golden brown and cheese is fully melted and dripping like in the picture.Cut & Serve: Cut diagonally and serve hot.Tip for extra cheesy pull: Use 2 types of cheese – cheddar + mozzarella.
