Prep Time: 8 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
1 (5 oz) can chunk white albacore tuna, packed in water, drained well
1½ tablespoons light mayonnaise, I like Best Foods Light (Hellman’s)
1½ tablespoons pickle relish
2 sandwich thins, see shopping tip
2 teaspoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light
4 teaspoons spicy brown mustard or yellow mustard, or to taste
2 large tomato slices
4 tablespoons reduced-fat cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. In a bowl, add drained tuna, mayonnaise and pickle relish. Mix together with a fork. Blend well.
2. Spread the outside of each sandwich thin with ½ teaspoon butter. Spread the inside of each slice with mustard.
3. Divide the tuna and spread over each sandwich thin bottom, on the mustard side. Top each with 1 slice tomato. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons cheese. Place the remaining slices (mustard inside) on top to create a sandwich.
4. In a large nonstick pan, add the two sandwiches, cheese side up. Cover pan with lid and cook on medium-high heat about 2-3 minutes, until bottom is golden brown. Using a spatula, turn each sandwich over. Flatten a little with the spatula. Cover and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden. Turn sandwiches over again and cook, uncovered about 30 seconds more, until cheese is melted.
5. Serve at once.
