Butter one side of each slice of bread then flip two over and top each with half the tuna mixture. Add a slice of cheese then cover with the remaining slices of bread, buttered-side up.

Notes
- Feel free to use relish vs mincing the pickles for an even faster recipe.
- Feel free to use a store-bought steak seasoning instead of homemade. I like Tone's Beef Seasoning Blend,
