Method
 

  1. To make this tuna melt panini we are using an 8-ounce can of solid albacore tuna. Drain the tuna and transfer into a small mixing bowl then,
  2. add in 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions, a quarter of a cup of finely diced celery, one tablespoon of fresh parsley chopped, ½ a fresh lemon juice, a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, a pinch of garlic powder, and two tablespoons of mayo.
  3. Now mix all the ingredients together, and as you do that make sure to break up the tuna.
  4. We're using a ciabatta roll, split the roll in half and what I typically like to do is to get some of the bread out, so I have room for the tuna.
  5. Spread your tuna salad on the roll and add two slices of cheddar cheese, and as we wait for the panini maker to warm up add a little bit of butter to the top of the roll. We are spreading a little bit of butter to the panini maker as well so we will have butter on top and bottom. Now we toast on low heat until the cheese has melted and the bread is nicely toasted.
  6. And after a couple of minutes, your tuna melt panini should look like this!
  7. So there you guys have it, tuna melt panini. Enjoy, buen provecho!
