Mix @oil-packed tuna{10%oz}(280 g; drained, in large flakes), @mayonnaise{1/3%cup}(80 mL), @celery{1%rib}(diced fine), @red onion{2%Tbs}(20 g; minced), @dill pickle{2%Tbs}(30 g; chopped), @lemon juice{2%tsp}(10 mL) and @black pepper{1/2%tsp}(1 g) together with a fork, folding rather than stirring. Oil-packed tuna and visible flakes: water-packed tuna mashed smooth is cat food with mayonnaise in it.

Mound @&(~1)tuna salad{} onto @rye bread{4%slices} in a thick even layer and lay @sharp cheddar{4%slices} over the top, right to the edges so it seals the salad in.

Griddle @&(~1)built melts{} in @salted butter{2%Tbs}(28 g) over medium-low heat with a lid on ~fry{4%min}, then flip and ~fry{3%min}. The lid is what melts the cheese through a cold filling before the rye goes past brown.
