Instructions

Prepare the tuna salad: Combine drained tuna, 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp Dijon, 2 tbsp chopped celery, 2 tbsp chopped red onion, 1 tsp lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
Butter each bread slice: Spread softened butter thinly on one side of each slice to ensure even browning.
Assemble: Place a butter-side-down slice in the skillet, spread tuna leaving a small border, top completely with cheese, then close with the second slice, butter-side-up.
Toast: Cook 3-4 minutes per side over medium heat until cheese melts and crust is deep golden. Use a lid briefly if the cheese needs help melting without burning the bread.
Rest and slice: Let the sandwich rest 60 seconds to allow the cheese to stabilize, then slice on the diagonal for cleaner presentation.
