There are days when I don’t really plan what I’m going to eat. I just open the fridge and start building something from what’s there.
This tuna & egg open sandwich came exactly like that.
Simple ingredients, nothing fancy—but it turned into a really satisfying lunch. The kind you don’t overthink, just eat and enjoy.
Tuna & Egg Toast
Even kids can make it!
Ingredients
- 4 slices toasted bred
- 1 can tuna (oil, brine, or spring water)
- 1 tomato
- Fresh dill

Directions
- Chop the tomato, dill, and spring onions.

You can see we come from neighbouring countries – grainy bread, open sandwich, lots of fish, hardboiled eggs AND fresh dill, of course ! I personally ‘forget’ the mayonnaise unless I make it myself 🙂 !

Yes, it really feels like we grew up with very similar food 🙂 Dill and open sandwiches just feel like home.
I understand about mayonnaise… homemade must taste so much better. Do you make it often, or only sometimes?

Well, the Baltics, especially Estonia and Latvia, more than Lithuania methinks, have the same raw materials and influences from Germany, Russia and Finland/Sweden . . . so 🙂 !

Thank you 🙂 It really is one of those simple meals that just works when you don’t want to think too much.
Do you have a go-to “quick lunch” like this when you’re in a hurry?

Since I am 86 and retired I don’t get in a hurry much. 🙂 Most of my meals are quick fixes.

You know, I’ve done tuna salad and I’ve done the boiled eggs but I never put the two together in the same sandwich… it may be time to change that 🤣 I was just about to boil up a batch of eggs today to make sandwich toppings…

Haha, yes—that was exactly my thought before I tried it 🙂 It sounded a bit unusual at first, but it actually works really well together.
It turned out my friend is adding eggs to canned tuna salad 🙂 so… that’s the same 🙂
If you try it, let me know—I’m curious what you’d add or change in it!

Thank you 🙂 It really is one of those simple “no thinking needed” meals.
Do you usually prefer quick sandwiches like this, or something warm when you’re hungry?

My diet is very limited, so I have a short list of what I can eat! and
try to make sure there’s always something un the fridge/cupboard I can
have. Hot meals tend to be in the evening. x

That looks really good, Ilze. I will try that sometime. Tuna is my go-to when I don’t have a plan. I love a tuna melt with tomato and Provolone cheese 🙂

Yummy! and protein rich!
Canned tuna is an indispensable larder staple for us. On days when I am out of ideas, we usually mix it in with chopped avocado and tomatoes, which a touch of mustard and spring onions.
