Notes
- Choose a sturdy bread that will be able to hold all the filling, as it can be quite heavy.
- Make sure to drain the tuna well and get all the excess liquid out of it, as you don't want to end up with a soggy tuna melt.
- If you are using butter on the outside, then make sure it is softened before you try to spread it, so it doesn't tear the bread apart.
- The buttered side of the bread should be on the outside of the toastie, as that is the bit that you want to get nice and golden.
- To make this gluten free, use your favourite brand of gluten free bread. Just be aware that this doesn't hold together quite so well.
