Step 1: Prepare the Tuna Mixture
In a bowl, add the drained tuna, chopped spinach, mayonnaise, onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well. Add a few drops of lemon juice if you like extra freshness.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread
Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside of each bread slice.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich
Place the tuna-spinach mixture on one slice of bread. Add the cheese slices on top.
Step 4: Close the Sandwich
