1
Preheat your broiler to high. Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat.
2
In a medium bowl, flake the drained tuna with a fork.
3
Finely chop the celery and red onion. Add them to the tuna along with mayonnaise, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
4
Lightly toast the sourdough bread slices. This helps prevent them from getting soggy under the tuna mixture.
5
Divide the tuna mixture evenly between the two slices of lightly toasted bread, spreading it from edge to edge.
6
Top each open-faced sandwich with the shredded or sliced cheddar cheese.
7
Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
8
Carefully remove from the broiler and serve immediately.
