This sandwich can be made with the addition of cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and fresh cucumbers. I’ll give you the simplest, most basic recipe.

For a tuna sandwich we will need these products.

Prepare the bread. The peels can be cut off or left as is. You can take toast bread, or you can use any bread. Open the can of tuna and carefully drain the oil.

Boil and chop the eggs. There is another option when the eggs are cut into thin rings. But they hold their shape so poorly that it’s easier to grind them.

Cut the sweet pickled cucumber into thin slices diagonally. Tear off the parsley leaves.

Combine tuna, eggs and mayonnaise. Mix everything until smooth. You can lay it out in layers, if desired.

Spread the bread with mustard. My homemade one is very strong, so I smeared it lightly. Layer the tuna with the eggs, then the parsley, and place the cucumber slices on top.

Cover with the second piece of bread and press lightly. The tuna sandwich is ready.

It can even be served with coffee or tea, a very satisfying option.

Secrets

1. To make sandwiches, take only yesterday's bread, because fresh bread is difficult to cut into the correct and necessary slices;
2. If making a low-calorie sandwich, use only quality whole grain bread, spread it with homemade mayonnaise or sauce, and top it with tuna;
3. If you are putting fatty ingredients on a slice of bread, you don't have to use butter;
4. Serve sandwiches immediately, otherwise the bun or bread slice will dry out or become too wet from the food;
5. It is better to store the snack in the refrigerator, carefully wrapped in cling film;
6. Lettuce and iceberg lettuce are ideal for tuna sandwiches.

So, let's make a small conclusion: the process of preparing a sandwich with any filling is approximately the same. Cut the bun or take two thin slices of bread. Lubricate the bottom piece with mayonnaise-based sauce, yogurt or pesto sauce.

Then add vegetables, eggs, lettuce, slices of tomatoes, cucumbers or radishes. Then add the main ingredient - tuna fillet and cover all this deliciousness with a second piece.

The consumption of sandwiches is especially common in large English cities, but the world's largest producers of these sandwiches are such restaurant chains as McDonald's, Burger King, Subway. There are many options for preparing this dish, however, one of the most common is tuna sandwiches, which we will talk about in this article.

Tuna has excellent gastronomic qualities and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. At the same time, it does not lose its beneficial qualities during any type of processing, including canning, which distinguishes it favorably from other types of fish.

Tuna sandwiches have a delicate taste and are loved by many for this reason. At the same time, there are many options for preparing this sandwich, including various additional ingredients.

Club sandwich with tuna and egg

This type of sandwich consists of toasted slices of bread with filling between them, but they are also cut in half into triangular pieces. As a rule, restaurants also serve this dish with a side dish. Let's take a closer look at the recipe for making this sandwich, where the filling will be tuna and egg. For it we will need:

• canned tuna in its own juice (2 jars);
• 6 green onions;
• parsley and dill;
• 2 eggs;
• 2 pieces of bread;
• black pepper;
• homemade mayonnaise;
• sea ​​salt.

First you need to hard boil the eggs. Fry the bread in a dry frying pan or toaster. Now mix the canned food with the herbs, which we first finely chop. Carefully crumble the boiled eggs and add them to the rest of the ingredients. Season everything with mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Mix all components thoroughly: if the mixture turns out dry, then add more mayonnaise. It's time to spread the salad on the toast and cover it with the remaining slice of bread. You can heat the sandwich in a frying pan, and finally cut the resulting sandwich into two parts diagonally.

Let’s separately consider how to prepare it, which will be used as an ingredient for this simple, but at the same time tasty sandwich. For it you need: 2 eggs, 400 g of vegetable oil (a mixture of olive and sunflower), a pinch of sugar, 1 tsp. mustard, 2 pinches of sea salt, 1 tsp. lemon juice (you can use white wine vinegar instead).

All ingredients must be mixed in a blender or mixer, except oil. Add sunflower oil in a thin stream to the whipped mass. We monitor the consistency and stop pouring oil when the mixture begins to resemble mayonnaise. Next, add olive oil so that our product is already brought to the final result. The mayonnaise is ready, but based on personal preferences, you can slightly adjust what we got. For example, if the taste of oil is clearly felt, you need to add lemon juice and mustard.

We looked at several recipes for a tuna sandwich, of course, there are a great many of them and from this variety you can choose something for yourself. One way or another, tuna sandwiches have become very popular due to their easy preparation and excellent taste.
