Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Mini baguette rolls
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 6 ounces Canned tuna in olive oil, drained
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 3 pieces Hard-boiled eggs, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Capers, rinsed and drained
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Using a serrated knife, slice the mini baguette rolls in half horizontally, but do not cut all the way through. You want them to remain hinged like a book.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Brush the inside of each roll generously with the olive oil mixture to ensure the bread absorbs the flavor.
In a medium bowl, gently combine the drained tuna, cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, and capers. Mix until evenly distributed, being careful not to break up the tuna too much.
Layer the sliced hard-boiled eggs over the bottom half of each roll. Add a few fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor.
Spoon the tuna mixture evenly onto the rolls, packing it in gently so it stays in place.
Close the rolls and press down lightly. Wrap each roll tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap to hold everything together.
Allow the rolls to rest for at least 20 minutes (or up to a few hours) at room temperature. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together.
Unwrap the rolls just before serving, and enjoy the combination of Mediterranean-inspired flavors.
