School is starting here and the weather is finally starting to cool off! That means a lot of our routine is changing and it will be back to just me for lunchtime! I was excited this summer to find a great deal on a Panini press 4 in 1. With working from home it can get really boring making the same food, especially ones on the healthy side Bumble Bee^® Tuna has always been one of my favorite quick sandwiches to makeup and it’s a great lean protein as well.  

Cheesy Tuna Panini Ingredients:

• 1 5 oz Can Of Bumble Bee^® Chunk White Albacore Tuna In Water
• 1-2 Tbsp of mayo *amount depending on your preference
• Garlic Salt
• Celery
• 2 Slices of Bread
• 1 Slice of cheese *I used American Cheese
• Other spices of your choice

Cheesy Tuna Panini Directions:

Open can of tuna and drain water.

Turn on your Panini and let it start to warm up to make your sandwich

Mix together your tuna, mayo, garlic salt, and celery.  I put my celery through a food processor to make it super fine. Be sure to use a low fat or fat free mayo to bring down the calorie amount in the sandwich.

Split the mixture in half unless you want to make two sandwiches, and put half in a container in the fridge for another day. I made two that day and shared with my youngest but you can also use the rest for another lunch.

Spread mixture out on a slice of bread and top with cheese and second slice of bread

Put on Panini Pessand let it cook. (I have this one -> here and love it the plates are removable to make it a griddle as well) 

I served mine with some plain tortilla chips.
