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)

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?

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?

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!

Do you usually prefer quick sandwiches like this, or something warm when you’re hungry?
