For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a thin spread of Dijon mustard to the bread before adding the tuna mixture. If you don't have a panini press, you can make this in a skillet. Just press down on the panini with a spatula while it cooks. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese! Cheddar, provolone, or pepper jack would all be delicious. For a lighter version, use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.
