Step 1
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop into a small bowl. Mash with a fork until creamy, then stir in lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Flake the drained tuna with a fork and mix gently with a small pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3
Spread mashed avocado on two bread slices, then top each with half the tuna, then one cheddar slice.
Step 4
Cover each with the remaining bread slices, cheese-side facing down.
Step 5
Spread 0.75 tbsp softened butter evenly on the outside of each sandwich.
Step 6
Heat a skillet over medium-high. Place sandwiches in the pan and cook 2–3 minutes until bread is golden and crispy.
Step 7
Flip and cook the other side 2–3 minutes until golden and cheese melts—listen for a gentle sizzle.
Step 8
Transfer to a plate, slice in half, and serve hot.
