1
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium bowl. Flake the tuna with a fork.
2
Finely chop the celery stalk and red onion. Add them to the bowl with the tuna.
3
Stir in the mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and the tuna salad is creamy.
4
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place two slices, butter-side down, in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium heat.
5
Top each bread slice with two slices of cheddar cheese. Evenly distribute the tuna salad mixture over the cheese on both slices.
6
Place the remaining two slices of bread, butter-side up, on top of the tuna salad, completing the sandwiches.
7
Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Gently press down on the sandwiches with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve immediately.
