Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz canned tuna, drained
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 stalk celery, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sweet relish
  • 2 tablespoon minced red onion
  • 2 teaspoons mustard
  • 2 teaspoons minced parsley
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon optional dried dill

Method
 

  1. Make Tuna Filling: Drain the oil or water from the tuna. Add drained tuna to a bowl and gently break up large chunks.
  2. Add mayonnaise, celery, relish or pickles, red onion, mustard, parsley, salt, pepper and/or optional dill, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Gently stir everything together.
  3. Assemble Sandwich: Place a slice of cheese on bread, then add some tuna and spread over the cheese. Optional: add tomato and/or pickles.
  4. Top with another slice of cheese and bread. Spread a layer of butter on the outside of the bread.
  5. Air Fry at 360°F/182°C for about 3-5 minutes for the cheese to melt. Carefully flip the sandwich.
  6. Increase heat to 380°F/193°C. Air fry at 380°F/193°C for about 5 minutes or until the sandwich is to your preferred texture.
  7. Check on the sandwich often to make sure it doesn't burn. Let the sandwich cool a bit. Cut in half if desired and enjoy asap!
