Step 1:
How to make a tuna and egg sandwich? Prepare the products. Any bread will do, I took a whole grain baguette, you can take a special bread for sandwiches, and the usual rye will be delicious. Canned tuna is tastier and healthier than natural, without the addition of oil. 250 grams is usually the weight of fish from a jar. Take any salad and greens that you like or have at hand. I have frieze and parsley.
Step 2:
Cut the bread into pieces. You can make small sandwiches, according to the type of closed sandwiches. And you can make large ones by simply cutting the baguette in half. I chose the second way. So it is more convenient to transport them if the sandwiches are being prepared for the road.
Step 3:
Dry the sliced bread on one side in a grill pan. You can skip this step, but crusty bread sandwiches taste better. Do not grease the pan with anything, spread the bread on a well-heated frying pan and keep it for a few minutes until lightly browning. If you don't have a grill pan, then dry the bread in a regular pan, it's not critical. A toaster or a roaster is also suitable for these purposes.
Step 4:
While the bread is frying, prepare the filling. Wash the cucumber and cut it into thin circles.
Step 5:
Peel boiled eggs from the shell. Break the fish and remove the large bones. Canned fish has very soft bones, but I still prefer to clean them. Put the fish and eggs in one plate and use a fork to mash them to the state of pate. Add mayonnaise to it. Mix it up. Mayonnaise can not be used if you follow the correct nutrition. Then you can pour some liquid from the canned food itself to make the filling juicier.
Step 6:
Rinse the lettuce leaves well under water and dry them. It is convenient to do this in a special drying for greenery. If there is no such thing, then blot the leaves with a paper or ordinary towel. In the same way, wash and dry the greens. Do not use wet greens, they will quickly lose their beautiful appearance, wet other ingredients and spoil the dish.
Step 7:
Put lettuce leaves on the prepared bread. Put a thick layer of fish spread on top.
Step 8:
Put cucumber slices and greens on the fish.
Step 9:
Cover the sandwich on top with the second half of the bread. For convenience, you can fasten the halves of bread with skewers. Serve the sandwiches to the table. Bon appetit!

I really love tuna, salads from it, now I love sandwiches. Fish goes very well with fresh cucumber and fresh herbs. But with other vegetables, I think it will be delicious.
Add fresh tomatoes, red salad onions, pickles to the sandwich — anything will do.
I think that with thin slices of bread, the sandwich will turn out juicier. And next time I'll smear the baguette with mayonnaise, I didn't have enough sauce.

The skin, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, does not need to be cut off.

How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned.

Shake the can before buying. The more liquid there is in it, the smaller the fish.
