How to prepare Gluten-Free Tuna and Cheese Sandwich

To prepare the gluten-free tuna and cheese sandwich, clean the scallions by trimming the roots 1 and removing the outer leaf. Then cut them in half 2. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan for a few seconds over medium heat and add the scallions 3.

Add the honey 4, salt 5, and raspberry vinegar 6 to the pan.

and the dried chili 7. Sauté the scallions over high heat for about 5 minutes until they are well caramelized 8. Set aside. Cut the Asiago into thin slices 9.

Pour a drizzle of oil in a pan, heat over medium heat, and place 2 slices of gluten-free bread 10. Toast both sides for about 2 minutes, then place the cheese 11 on both slices of bread. Cover the stuffed bread slices 12 with a lid and let cook for about 3-5 minutes until the cheese is completely melted. Also, toast the third slice of bread without filling, which will be used to close the sandwich.

As soon as the cheese is melted, you can assemble the sandwich: take one of the slices of bread with Asiago, add half of the arugula, washed and dried 14, and half of the tuna in oil, previously drained 15.

Finish the first layer with half of the spicy scallions 16. Cover with the second slice of bread topped with Asiago. Add the remaining arugula, the tuna in oil, the remaining scallions, and complete the sandwich with the toasted slice of bread 17. Cut in half and serve the gluten-free tuna and cheese sandwich immediately at the table!
