Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise

• 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 2 (5 ounce) cans water-packed tuna, drained
• 8 large ripe olives, sliced
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (such as Grey Poupon®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Combine tuna, mayonnaise, hard-boiled eggs, olives, celery, green onions, carrots, and mustard in a bowl until well mixed.

Step 3

Brush melted butter on one side of each bread slice. Top 6 unbuttered sides bread slices each with 1 cheese slice, 1/6 tuna salad, and 1 more cheese slice; top each with 1 remaining bread slice, buttered-sides up. Transfer sandwiches to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Broil in the preheated oven until bread toasted and cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes.
