Instructions

Place the tuna in a medium bowl and mash with a fork. Add the onion, celery, and parsley.
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine.
Place two slices of bread on a clean work surface. Scoop 4 to 5 tablespoons of the tuna onto one slice of bread and top with 1 slice of cheese. Butter the second slice of bread and place on top.
In a medium skillet, melt 1/2 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is sizzling, add the sandwich, butter-side up.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until browned, then ﬂip and cook on the second side for 2 to 3 minutes more, until browned.
Set the sandwich on a plate to cool slightly.
Repeat to make 3 more sandwiches. (You can also use a larger skillet and cook two sandwiches at a time.) Cut in half and serve.
