I must be kidding. I’m not kidding. They are delicious. I make one of these for lunch quite often. If I happen to have them on hand, I use walnuts but peanuts are the norm. I prefer Swiss cheese but whatever kind suits you. Read more Can you leave out the peanuts? Sure, but then it won’t be a Peanut, Tuna and Cheese Sandwich. Sure you can use peanut butter but the taste won’t be the same and fresh peanuts give the sandi a crunch. Directions are for one can of tuna. See less
Ingredients
- • 8 slices of bread, your choice of kind. shopping list
- • 8 slices of swiss cheese, more or less to suit, room temp. shopping list
- • About ½ cup of chopped peanuts. Chop until chinks are about the size of a grain of rice. shopping list
- • 1 can of flaked tuna, in water, drained. I use lightly sautéed fresh tuna (super delicious) but canned works. shopping list
- • Real mayonnaise, to suit your taste. shopping list
- • 1 small stalk of celery, chopped small. shopping list
- • ½ tsp Dijon mustard, to taste. shopping list
- • Pinch of parsley. shopping list
- • salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. shopping list
How to make it
- 1. If using fresh tuna, cut into very small chunks & sauté in olive oil or use cooking spray until just cooked. If using canned drain well.
- 2. Put the tuna, Mayonnaise, mustard, parsley and celery in a small mixing bowl.
- 3. Mix thoroughly, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- 4. Spoon the mixture onto one slice of bread and spread out evenly. Use as much or as little as you like.
- 5. Sprinkle on the chopped peanuts until you have a nice even coating.
- 6. Layer on the Swiss cheese slices and cover with the second slice of bread.
- 7. Slice as desired and serve.
- I sometimes pop this in the micro for 30 seconds, or so to soften the cheese a bit.
If you don't use fresh

Ive never tried it with tuna. Could be a big yummy tuna burger using both ends of the bread loaf.
