Tuna surprise sandwiches are a great quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are also a great way to use up leftover tuna. The filling is made with tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs. The sandwiches are then grilled or toasted until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Be sure to serve with your favorite sides, such as chips, salad, or fruit.

Tips:

- Add flavor with herbs and spices: Enhance the taste of your tuna salad with a variety of herbs and spices like dill, parsley, chives, paprika, or garlic powder.
- Don't overmix the tuna salad: Overmixing can make the tuna salad mushy and less flavorful. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a variety of bread: Experiment with different types of bread for your sandwiches, such as white, wheat, rye, or sourdough.
- Add extra toppings: Feel free to add other ingredients to your sandwich, such as sliced hard-boiled eggs, diced celery, or chopped red onion.
- Get creative with your presentation: Consider serving your tuna surprise sandwiches on a bed of lettuce or with a side of fruit or chips.
