Notes
Choose a sturdy bread that will be able to hold all the filling, as it can be quite heavy.
Make sure to drain the tuna well and get all the excess liquid out of it, as you don't want to end up with a soggy tuna melt.
If you are using butter on the outside, then make sure it is softened before you try to spread it, so it doesn't tear the bread apart.
The buttered side of the bread should be on the outside of the toastie, as that is the bit that you want to get nice and golden.
To make this gluten free, use your favourite brand of gluten free bread. Just be aware that this doesn't hold together quite so well.
