Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven's broiler. Place the 4 bread slices on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden on one side.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, mix the drained canned tuna, 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until well combined.

  3. Step 3

    Slice the tomato and cucumber into thin rounds. You'll need about 4 tomato slices and 8 cucumber slices.

  4. Step 4

    Flip the toasted bread so the untoasted side is up. Spread the tuna mixture evenly over each slice, then top with tomato and cucumber slices.

  5. Step 5

    Place 1 slice of cheddar cheese on top of each sandwich. Broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute before serving warm.
