Ingredients

one 188 millilitre can chunk light tuna (well drained)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon minced white onion
1 tablespoon finely minced celery
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices bread of choice
4 slices cheddar or marble cheese
extra mayonnaise for "buttering" the bread slices

Steps:

Flake the tuna with a fork, then combine the tuna, mayonnaise, onion, celery, relish, lemon juice and salt and pepper.
Slather two pieces of bread with mayonnaise like you would use butter, then place into a large skillet, mayonnaise side down.
Place a cheese slice onto the bread.
Spread the tuna mixture over the cheese slices. Place a cheese slice on top.
Use the mayo to "butter " the remaining two slices, then place on top, mayonnaise side up and out.
Heat the pan to medium heat and cook until the bread is lightly browned on the bottom.
Flip the sandwiches carefully to the other side, then cook until the other side has browned.
Remove, slice in half and serve.

Stir together everything in a bowl, mixing it well, leaving the mayonnaise for last. Add mayonnaise a spoonful at a time, just enough to bind everything together. The salad should hold its shape on a spoon. (You can make the tuna salad up to three days ahead. Store covered and refrigerated. Drain off any accumulated liquid and stir well before using.)
Cover one side of each bread slice with butter or mayonnaise, spreading it all the way to the edges. Turn the slices over and cover with cheese, either sprinkling it or tearing the pieces to fit. Top with tuna salad.
Close the sandwiches and cook on a griddle or in a large skillet over medium-high heat until deep golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side, pressing lightly with the spatula. Serve immediately.
