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.
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.
Step 3
Slice the tomato and cucumber into thin rounds. You'll need about 4 tomato slices and 8 cucumber slices.
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.
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.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute before serving warm.
