🥄 Texture

Creamy and slightly chunky from the scrambled eggs combined with flaked tuna and melted cheddar, with occasional strands of softened onion. Crisp, golden baguette cubes add a contrasting crunchy bite throughout.

👃 Aroma

Savory, brothy tuna notes and melted cheddar dominate, joined by the sweet-savory scent of sautéed onion and warm toasted bread. Overall it smells hearty and comforting with a pronounced savory/umami character.

🍷 Pairs Well With

A crisp, acidic white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a light pilsner; nonalcoholic options include iced lemon water or a bright citrus iced tea.

🥗 Side Dishes

Simple green salad with a lemon vinaigrette or a tangy coleslaw to cut the richness; quick pickles or steamed green beans also pair well for freshness and crunch.

Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Add the drained tuna to the pan and stir well. Cook for 2 minutes, breaking up the tuna with your spoon. Season with salt, pepper, and your seasoning of choice.

Push the tuna mixture to the side of the pan. Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat them lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour into the empty side of the pan. Scramble the eggs gently for 2-3 minutes until they start to set.

Mix the eggs together with the tuna and onions. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over everything and stir until melted, about 1 minute.

In a separate small pan with 1 tablespoon of oil, cook the baguette cubes over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until golden and crispy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the crispy baguette to the main pan, toss everything together, and serve immediately.
