What’s better than a regular tuna sandwich? A tuna egg sandwich that combines two lunch favorites into one!
This sandwich takes the classic tuna salad we all know and adds perfectly boiled eggs to make it even better. It’s the kind of lunch that keeps you full and happy, whether you’re at work, school, or just hanging out at home. If you think you’ll have leftovers for tomorrow, don’t count on it – these sandwiches have a way of disappearing fast.
Possible Ingredient Alternatives
For a plant-based alternative, canned chickpeas can replace tuna. Mash the chickpeas and add a small amount of kelp powder or nori flakes to mimic the seafood flavor. This substitution maintains protein content while catering to vegetarian or vegan diets. Mayo can be swapped with mashed avocado or hummus for a healthier fat option that adds creaminess and flavor. Use the same amount as mayo, adjusting to taste. Whole wheat bread can be replaced with lettuce wraps or low-carb tortillas for those following gluten-free or low-carb diets. If using lettuce wraps, choose large, sturdy leaves like romaine or iceberg. For tortillas, warm them slightly before filling to improve flexibility.
