A delightful twist on the classic tuna melt, featuring fresh herbs and a crispy, golden crust.
Combine the green onion, parsley, tarragon, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and mayonnaise in a bowl.
Use a fork to mix the ingredients thoroughly for an even flavor distribution.
Add the drained tuna to the bowl and gently mix to combine.
Break up any large chunks of tuna for a smoother filling.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly onto four slices of bread.
Ensure the mixture is spread to the edges for consistent flavor in every bite.
Top each slice with tomato slices and grated cheese.
Layer the toppings evenly for a balanced sandwich.
Spread butter on one side of the remaining bread slices and place them on top, buttered side up.
Softened butter spreads more easily and evenly.
Heat a griddle over medium heat and place the sandwiches buttered side down.
Preheat the griddle for even cooking.
Spread butter on the top side of the bread while the bottom side grills.
Use a brush or knife to apply the butter smoothly.
Flip the sandwiches carefully and grill the other side until golden brown.
Use a spatula to flip the sandwiches gently to avoid spilling the filling.
Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy.
Pair with a side salad or soup for a complete meal.
