  • 1 (12-ounce) can solid white tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 red apple, cored and diced

  • 2 tablespoons canned whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened

In large bowl combine tuna, mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well blended; stir in apple, celery and cranberry sauce.

Spread one side of bread with butter. In 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, place bread slices, butter-side down. Top each with a slice of cheese. Cover and cook over medium heat, 3-4 minutes until cheese is melted and bottom of bread is golden.
