Classic Sourdough Tuna Melt with Dill
"A comforting and satisfying tuna melt featuring flaky tuna mixed with crisp celery, red onion, and a hint of fresh dill, all nestled between slices of sourdough bread with sharp cheddar cheese and grilled to golden perfection."
Ingredients
All Steps
- 1
In a medium bowl, flake the drained tuna with a fork. Add mayonnaise, diced celery, minced red onion, chopped fresh dill, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- 2
Butter one side of each sourdough bread slice generously. Lay two slices, butter-side down, on a clean surface.
- 3
Divide the tuna salad mixture evenly between the two bread slices. Spread it out to the edges.
- 4
Top the tuna salad with the sharp cheddar cheese. Place the remaining two bread slices, butter-side up, on top of the cheese to form two sandwiches.
- 5
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwiches in the hot skillet.
- 6
Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. You may need to press down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

Remove from skillet, let rest for a minute, then slice in half and serve immediately.
