The Perfect Tuna Melt Recipe- My daughter is obsessed with tuna. I will buy 10-20 cans when it goes on sale, put some at the tip top of the pantry, and somehow they always disappear by time I go to make this delicious Tuna Melt.

Ingredients
Tuna, 2 x 5oz cans, drained
Onion, medium size, chopped
Celery, ½ a stalk, chopped
Garlic (1 clove), minced
Parsley, 1 tablespoon, chopped
Mayonnaise, 3-4 tablespoons
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 3 tablespoons, divided
Mozzarella, ⅓ cup, shredded
Bread, sliced
Butter, softened
Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
Drain water from tuna and put the tuna into a medium bowl.
Chop onion, celery, and parsley. Mince garlic and add ingredients to tuna.
Add mayonnaise, olive oil, and mozzarella cheese. Combine all ingredients until well incorporated. Salt and pepper to taste.
Place a non-stick skillet on the stove and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When the skillet is hot, take a slice of bread and generously spread butter on one side.
Place the bread (buttered side down) in the hot skillet.
Using a spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of tuna salad on bread while it is browning.
Butter another slice of bread with butter and place non-buttered side on top of tuna.
Using a spatula, check to see if the bread is toasted brown. If so, turn the tuna melt over and grill the other side until it's golden brown.
