  • 1 can canned tuna
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 4 slices toasted bread
  • 2 slices cheese (e.g., cheddar)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven or broiler.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the canned tuna, mayonnaise, chopped celery, chopped onion, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the toasted bread on a baking sheet.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or experimenting with herbs like dill or garlic powder. Use day-old bread for a crispier texture.
