Mix the tuna, finely chopped red onion and pickle, mustard, and fresh mayo well together. Season with pepper and salt.

Spread butter on one side of the 8 slices of sourdough bread, then flip them over.

Top 4 slices with 1 cm of tuna, 3 slices of tomato, and repeat.

Place 2.5 slices of cheddar on each slice. Place the remaining 4 slices on top, with the butter side facing up.

Heat a frying pan, melt a knob of butter in it, and toast the sandwich, cheese side down, for about 3 minutes on medium heat, until it turns a nice crispy golden brown. Flip the sandwich and toast for another 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
