Bruschetta with tuna and egg

1 serving

10 minutes

Tuna and egg bruschetta is a true embodiment of simplicity and sophistication in Italian cuisine. Its roots go back to the Middle Ages when peasants toasted bread and rubbed it with garlic and olive oil. Today, this snack masterpiece is complemented by tender tuna, golden egg, and spicy onion. Ciabatta, with its crispy crust soaked in creamy butter, becomes the perfect base for a rich palette of flavors. Sumac adds a slight tanginess while arugula brings spiciness. This dish is ideal for cozy evenings or as an elegant appetizer before the main course. It pairs harmoniously with white wine and fresh vegetables, turning an ordinary dinner into a gastronomic delight.
