- Time 15"
Pan Bagnat means 'wet bread' in French, which references the step of wetting the crusty slices of bread with olive oil before assembling. The olive oil helps the flavors shine as the juices all intermingle into every delicious bite. Perfect for picnics or work lunches.
How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 1 small ciabatta roll (Note 1)
- 1/2 (5 ounce) can oil-packed tuna, drained
- 1/2 roma tomato, sliced
- 1/4 red or green bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 hard boiled egg (or 1 small)
- 6 pitted good-quality olives (or 2 anchovies)
- 3 fresh basil leaves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
- 1 tablespoon shallot, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 garlic clove
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Slice the ciabatta in half horizontally. If using a tall ciabatta loaf, pull out some of the soft inner crumbs to form a cavity.
- Step 2: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over the inner-sides of bread and rub the garlic clove over both sides. The garlic will break down as you rub it. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
- Step 3: Spread the tomatoes over the bottom of the bread. Top with the scallions, peppers, tuna, egg, olives or anchovies, and basil. Drizzle the top of each sandwich with another 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and then cover with the top bread half, pressing the two sides firmly together.
- Serve: Enjoy fresh or wrap tightly to infuse the flavors for up to 12 hours before serving.
