Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the tuna with the spring onion, capers, natural yogurt, American mustard and white vinegar, then season with salt and pepper.
  2. In another small bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil with the garlic clove and parsley, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Brush the extra virgin olive oil mixture over one side of both slices of bread.
  4. Flip the bread slices over and spoon the tuna mixture onto the un-oiled sides.
  5. Sprinkle the mature Cheddar cheese over the tuna mixture and press the sandwich together.
  6. Cook either in an air fryer at 200°C (400°F), flipping it over halfway, until golden brown, or in a dry frying pan over a low-medium heat for a total of 5 minutes, flipping it so that both sides turn golden and the mature Cheddar cheese melts.

Notes

Under 535kcal and 36g protein. Swap mayo for a lighter, high-protein yogurt mix, and the bread is brushed with garlicky extra virgin olive oil for healthy fats.
