Niçoise Toast image

Fried bread is our contribution to the classic Niçoise. And this recipe is the moment to splurge on the best-quality tuna (we love Ortiz brand) you can afford-it makes all the difference in a simple preparation like this. The meaty, sustainably caught Spanish tuna packed in buttery olive oil is worth the splurge.

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 large eggs
Juice from 1 lemon
1 lb. tomatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
A pinch of sugar
Kosher salt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
1 1/2 tsp. sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. hot smoked Spanish paprika
4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 slices sourdough bread
2 (6-7-oz.) jars oil-packed tuna, drained
Flaky sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup torn mixed tender herbs (such as dill, parsley, basil, and/or tarragon)
