Tuna Sandwiches, no Mayo


It was a very busy day today, meetings, dentist, haircuts, etc.  I really needed to go to the grocery store today, but it will have to be tomorrow.  So I improvised and it was truly good.  We had a larger than normal lunch at Ruby Tuesdays as we were in Lebanon for the dentist.  We did go to Aldies on the way home and I bought some Romaine.  I made a simple salad and the following amazing tuna sandwich.  I say serves 3 as it makes 3 full sandwiches.    
Ingredients:
6 slices rye pumpernickel swirl bread
7 oz. can of white albacore tuna
5 oz. crumbled apricot cheddar
1 T capers
1 T stone ground mustard
1 T butter
Cooking spray
Directions:
1.      You need a Panini maker.  Plug in and warm up. 
2.      Mix tuna, cheddar, capers and mustard in a small bowl. 
3.      Spread butter on half the bread. 
4.      Pile on the tuna mixture and top with the second half of the bread.  Butter the top. 
5.      Spray the inside of the Panini maker and place the sandwiched butter side down.  Butter the top and close the lid. 
6.      Cook until crisp, slice and serve. 
Tuna sandwiches without mayo.  What could be better?  Jim thought the sandwiches were amazing.
