1. 1Drain tuna thoroughly and flake into a bowl with a fork. Mix with mayonnaise, celery, onion, Dijon, lemon juice and pepper. Taste before adding salt, as canned tuna is already seasoned.
2. 2Butter one side of each bread slice. Turn two slices butter-side down and place one slice of cheddar on each.
3. 3Divide tuna filling over the cheese, add optional tomato slices and top with the remaining cheddar. Close with the other bread slices, butter-side up.
4. 4Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add sandwiches and cook for 3–4 minutes until golden underneath. Flip gently with a wide spatula.
5. 5Cook for another 3–4 minutes, covering briefly to melt the cheese and warm the center. Lower heat if the bread colors too fast. Rest 1 minute, slice and serve hot.
6. 6Refrigerate leftover filling or sandwiches within 2 hours for 3–4 days. Reheat leftover sandwiches to 165°F over low heat or in a 350°F oven, loosely covered until hot.
