Tips:
- For a crispier sandwich, use a thicker slice of bread or toast the bread before assembling the sandwich.
- To prevent the cheese from becoming rubbery, shred it fresh instead of using pre-shredded cheese.
- If you don't have any tuna salad on hand, you can easily make your own by mixing together canned tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add a layer of sliced tomato or avocado to your sandwich for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately, or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for later.
