Ingredients:

  5. Salt and pepper, to taste
  6. 4 slices of Sara Lee 45 calorie wheat with honey bread
  7. I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spray

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preheating a frying pan over a low to medium heat setting, ensuring an optimal cooking environment for your tuna melts.
  2. Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a small mixing bowl.
  3. Add in the finely chopped celery, onions, light mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to the bowl containing the tuna. Gently stir the ingredients until well combined, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
  4. Next, evenly coat one side of each slice of bread with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spray, applying four sprays per slice.
  5. Take one slice of bread and spread half of the prepared tuna mixture onto the unbuttered side. Top it with a slice of Sargento ultra thin mild cheddar cheese, then cover it with another slice of bread, ensuring the buttered side faces outwards.
  6. Place the assembled sandwich onto the preheated frying pan and cook until golden brown on each side, ensuring that the cheese has melted and the bread is crispy.
  7. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to prepare the second tuna melt.
  8. Once both tuna melts are cooked to perfection, remove them from the frying pan and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
