- 1/2 celery stick (chopped)

- Butter the bread with softened butter.
- Heat a pan on a medium high heat.
- Add the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
- When the pan is hot, add one of the bread slices, and brown buttered side down.
- When the bread is starting to brown, scoop a few tablespoons of the tuna mixture onto the bread and cook a bit longer.
- Add the other piece of bread and flip the sandwich over, browning the other side.
- Remove from the pan when the bread is a lovely golden colour and the tuna melt is starting to ooze out the sides.
