Steps:
- Place tuna into a mixing bowl and lightly break apart with a fork. Add green onion, celery, capers, chile paste, and mayonnaise. Pinch small pieces from mozzarella cheese into the tuna salad and stir to mix. Season with salt and black pepper; refrigerate tuna salad until needed.
- Heat oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Spread butter generously on both sides of French bread slices.
- Broil buttered bread until golden brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip bread slices and broil other side until toasted, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from oven and turn bread slices over on the baking sheet so the darkest sides are on the bottom.

Tips:
- Use high-quality tuna for the best flavor. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in brine.
- Flake the tuna with a fork before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to create a more even distribution of flavor and texture.
- Use a variety of cheeses to create a more complex flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good options.
- If you are using a bread machine to make the bread, be sure to use the dough cycle. This will help to create a light and fluffy bread that is perfect for sandwiches.
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bread before adding the tuna mixture. This will help to keep the sandwich moist and flavorful.
- Grill the sandwich in a panini press or on a hot griddle until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite sides.
