Ingredients
- 2 Slices of Bread
- Β½ tbsp Butter (softened)
- 145 g Tinned Tuna in Brine (drained)
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- ΒΌ tsp Dijon Mustard
- 50 g Extra Mature Cheddar (grated)
Method
- Preheat the air fryer to 180 Β°C (350 Β°F).
- Mix together the tuna mayo ingredients in a small bowl.
- Put the two slices of bread on a chopping board and spread the softened butter on both slices.
- Turn one slice over (so the buttered side is now touching the board) and spoon over the tuna mayo.
- Place the grated cheese on top of the tuna mixture and press down with your hand so the grated cheese sticks.
- Lay the other slice of bread on top of the cheese, with the buttered side facing up towards you. Press it down firmly with a spatula or your hand.Note - You should end up with both buttered sides of the bread on the outside of the sandwich.
- Air fry for 6 minutes then flip and air fryer for a further 2-4 minutes until the tuna melt is crispy and golden and the cheese has melted.
