For The Tuna Mixture:
For the Sandwich:
To make the tuna mixture: Mix together drained tuna, celery, pickles, egg, parsley, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a bowl. Taste for seasoning and add in if necessary.
To make the sandwiches: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place 1 slice of cheese on the bottom half of a bun and top it off with ½ cup of the tuna mixture. Place another slice of cheese on the top bun. Place both of them (facing up) on the sheet pan. Repeat the same process with the rest of the buns.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until cheese melts. Take it out of the oven and let it cool for a minute.
To Assemble: Layer each bottom bun (the one with the tuna mixture) with sliced cucumber, avocado, tomato, and a green salad leaf. Put the top bun.
If preferred, garnish with a cornichon (as seen in the photos) and serve.
