Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (165g) white chunk tuna
  • 2 Tbls. (28g)green onion, chopped
  • 1.5 Tbls. (21g) sweet & how mustard
  • pinch salt & black pepper

  • 1/3 Fuji apple, sliced thin
  • 3 slices sharp white cheddar

  2. Melt butter onto griddle over medium-low heat. Place both slices of bread on griddle and move around to coat contact side with butter.
  3. Pile tuna salad on one slice of bread. Cover other slice of bread with one layer of sliced sharp white cheddar.
