Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Tuna Salad: Roughly smash the chickpeas with a fork or your fingers. Finely chop the onion, celery, and capers. Stir everything together, adding a pinch of salt and pepper as needed to suit your taste.
Assemble Sandwich: Spread mayonnaise onto one side of each bread slice (this replaces the butter on the outside of the sandwich, creating a golden brown crispy crust when cooked!) Onto the mayo-free side, layer in the tuna salad, tomato, and cheese.
Cook: Cook sandwiches over medium heat in a large skillet or panini press until outsides are golden brown and cheese has melted. Alternatively, set the oven to broil and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make it vegan by using a plant-based cheddar and mayonnaise.
