Pan Bagnat

PRINT RECIPE

    Serves: 4
    Prep time: 10 mins

    This is a wonderful picnic option, so easy to make and absolutely delicious – perfect too for BYO lunch-to-work! 

    Pan bagnat  is a sandwich that is a specialty of the Nice area in France. Effectively a tuna roll with hard-boiled eggs and bundles of seasonal veggies, the longer it has time for the flavours to permeate through the bread, the tastier it is. Making the night before is perfect. You may wish to include anchovies, olives, ribbons of cucumber, pickled vegetables…the options are endless.
