Tuna Cake Pan Bagnat:
Like its cousin, salade Niçoise, pan bagnat originated in Nice, France, and bears a few resemblances. Originally a humble fisherman’s meal, pan bagnat was a convenient way to use leftover bread and simple ingredients like tomatoes, onions, and anchovies. (Its name translates to “bathed bread,” a reference to how the bread was traditionally moistened with olive oil and tomato juices.) Over time, it evolved to include tuna, hard-boiled eggs, and various vegetables. My personal take on this classic sandwich uses tuna cakes instead of plain tuna, adding a satisfying texture and extra layers of flavor. —César Pérez

What an absolutely stunning looking sandwich before you join the halves. Thanks for the olive oil water proofing tip
Can’t wait to make this, I make a very similar NYTC recipe for an Italian tuna sandwich it’s a definitely work the work! Thank Cesare❤
I would have liked to pickle the onions for sweetness which was missing with all the vinegar.
You will always remember your first pan bagnat. ❤ Great video.
