Shopping List
  • 1 (5 ounce) can oil-packed tuna, drained
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (Note 1)
  • 1/4 cup kimchi, drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup extra-sharp cheddar, sliced
  • 2 slices bread of choice (Note 2)
  • softened butter, for spreading
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven broiler.
  2. Step 2: Mix the tuna and mayonnaise with a fork until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Spread some butter on both sides of the bread slices. Place the slices on a baking sheet, and broil 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Remove from the heat and flip over the slices, so that the un-toasted side is now on top. Spread the tuna salad, all the way to the edges of one of the bread slices. Top with the cheese.
  4. Step 4: Return the layered bread to the preheated oven (leave the un-topped slice on the counter), and broil 3 minutes, or until the cheese has started to melt. Add the other slice back to the oven, toasted side down. Leave both slices in the oven for another 1 minute and then remove. Keep an eye on them here to avoid burning.
  5. Serve: Top the tuna slice with the kimchi and the other slice of bread. Enjoy.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: Not into mayo? Try using an equal amount of tahini (we like this one) mixed with a little lemon juice.

Note 2: Make this sandwich grain-free with Cassava Bread or Keto Microwave Bread.
