Best 6 Tuna Frenchee Recipes

PAN BAGNAT (PRESSED FRENCH TUNA SANDWICH)

Steps:

• Stir garlic into the olive oil and set aside.
• Partially hollow out the bread by pulling out about 50% of the insides. Brush the bread very generously with the garlic olive oil, reserving about 1 tablespoon for later use.
• Begin building the sandwich by placing a layer of sliced tomatoes on the bottom half, covering it completely. Season with salt and pepper. Top with sliced onion, olives, and banana peppers.
• Crumble the tuna over the top, pressing down slightly so it stays in place. Be sure to go as close to the edges as possible. Top with anchovy filets, capers, sliced eggs, and basil leaves. Top with another layer of tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with vinegar and reserved garlic olive oil.
• Place the top half of the loaf on and press firmly to compress the ingredients. Wrap in several layers of plastic wrap, then with aluminum foil, ending with seams at the top.
• Place into a large pan and place a sheet pan over the top. Weigh down with heavy cans, pots, a cast iron pan, or a cutting board, to press the sandwich as evenly as possible.
• Place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or up to overnight, turning halfway through if possible. Unwrap, slice, and serve.

TUNA FRENCHEE

Steps:

• Mix tuna with just enough mayonnaise to keep it together.
• Lightly spread each piece of bread with mayonnaise. Make 3 sandwiches spreading tuna not quite to the edge of the bread.
• Cut the crusts off the sandwiches.
• Cut each sandwich diagonally both ways, making 4 triangles.
• Combine egg, milk, flour and salt.
• Dip each triangle into egg mixture and then coat with the corn flake crumbs.
• Deep fry at 375 degrees until golden brown.

THE BEST TUNA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Drain tuna very well and add to large bowl
• dice all of the above very small as indicated and add to tuna.
• I add about 3 -4 heaping kitchen sized tablespoons of Mayo into the tuna you may have to add a little more or a little less based on your preference
• add a few shakes of black pepper and salt (opt).
• Chill in airtight container in fridge. The longer you let it chill, the better the flavor. This can be served on pretty much any kind of bread. My personal favorite, onion rolls or seedless rye!
• Hope you enjoy & agree this is one of the best Tuna Sandwiches!

CHEESE FRENCHEE

Steps:

• 1. Make 3 sandwiches using 2 slices of bread spread with Miracle Whip or mayo (Kings used Miracle Whip), and 2 slices of American cheese for each sandwich. Cut the crusts off, and then slice each sandwich diagonally, to make 4 triangles.
• 2. In a small bowl, combine the egg, milk, flour & salt and whisk to make a batter.
• 3. Dip each triangle in the batter, covering completely. Let the excess drip off, and then coat with crumbs.
• 4. Fry the triangles in 375 degree oil until golden brown.
• 5. *Note: If you are just making one sandwich for yourself, you can use the leftover batter & crumbs to make onion rings. They are wonderful!!

TUNA CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. On five slices of bread, layer 1/2 cup lettuce and about 1/4 cup tuna mixture; top with remaining bread.

MOM'S TUNA QUICHE

Steps:

• 1. Wash and chop mushrooms or use pre-sliced. Sautee in butter until moisture is removed.
• 2. While mushrooms are cooking, chop scallions, grate cheese and drain tuna
• 3. Place one (uncooked) pie crust in a deep-dish pie plate. Top with tuna, cheese, sautéed mushrooms and scallions.
• 4. Beat together eggs, milk and seasonings and pour on top of tuna mixture. (You can add a sprinkle more of cheese on top if you like.) Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. You can protect the crust edges with foil, but I have found that I don't need to. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.
