Prep and toast buns
1

  • Slice tomato into 1/4 inch rounds.
  • Core, then slice apples into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Drain tuna.
Toast buns
2
  • Halve buns. Arrange on an unlined baking sheet, cut-side up. Toast buns in the middle of the oven until golden-brown, 2-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn!)

  • Meanwhile, add tuna, mayo, Dijon and celery to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then mash with a fork to combine.
  • Carefully remove buns from the oven, then divide tuna mixture evenly over buns. Sprinkle cheese over top.
  • Return buns to the middle of the oven and bake until cheese melts, 1-2 min.
