By RoketJSquerl

Ingredients

• 1 Can Albacore Tuna in Water (6 ounce) drained
• 1/2 Rib Celery, minced
• 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise, plus more for spreading on bread (1 to 2)
• Salt and Pepper to Taste
• 4 Slices Country-style Bread (i Used a Homemade Batard)
• 4 Slices Fully Cooked Bacon
• 1 Tomato, sliced thinly
• 2 Slices Mozzarella Cheese (cheddar or Swiss Would Also Be Nice) (2 to 4)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the panini grill to 375 degrees. (No grill? See “How to Make Panini Without a Panini Press”)

In a small bowl, combine albacore, celery, mayonnaise salt and pepper to make tuna salad.

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Assemble each sandwich with bacon, tuna salad, tomatoes and cheese between two slices of bread.

Grill panini for 6-7 minutes (if you’re using sliced bread, you might want to brush a little melted butter or olive oil on the outside for extra crispness and flavor) until the cheese is melted and bread is toasted. Serve immediately and enjoy!
