Method

Put the bread slices on a chopping board and spread ½ tbsp mayonnaise over one side of them.
Mix the remaining mayonnaise, the tuna, spring onion and cheese together in a small bowl and set aside. Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a small frying pan and fry the sprouts for 2-3 mins until only just tender, then remove and spread over one side of bread with no mayonnaise (the mayonnaise side should now be facing down). Top with the tuna mixture and the remaining slice of bread, mayonnaise-side up.
Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan and fry the sandwich for 3-4 mins each side over a medium heat, pressing down lightly, until golden and crisp on the outside and melted on the inside. Cut in half and scatter with extra spring onions to serve.
