Steps

1. Combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, pickle relish and Dijon mustard in a bowl.
2. Season the tuna mixture with salt and pepper and mix well.
3. Butter one side of each slice of bread.
4. Lay the bread slices butter-side down on a baking tray.
5. Toast the bread under the grill for 2 minutes, until lightly golden.
6. Flip the slices over so the toasted side faces down.
7. Spread a quarter of the tuna mixture evenly over four of the slices.
8. Lay tomato slices over the tuna on each sandwich.
9. Top each with two slices of cheese, covering the tuna completely.
10. Return the tray to the grill and cook for 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling with brown spots.
11. Top each melt with a second slice of toasted bread and serve hot.
