The best egg spread for sandwiches. The secret is one addition

Egg paste with leek is an exceptionally tasty and nutritious proposition that is perfect both for breakfast and as a snack for work or school. The richness of protein from eggs and tuna makes the dish filling for a long time and supports muscle regeneration. The addition of leek and pickled cucumbers adds crunch and freshness. Mayonnaise and Dijon mustard add a distinctive flavor, and lemon highlights the whole thing with a slight sourness. The paste goes perfectly with whole grain bread, fresh vegetables or as a filling for tortillas, and can also be a base for exquisite crackers served at parties.

To prepare this recipe, you will need:

• 5 eggs,
• 100 g tuna in its own sauce,
• 10 cm of the white part of the leek,
• 2 medium pickled cucumbers,
• 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise,
• 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard,
• ½ teaspoon of lemon juice,
• ½ teaspoon of salt,
• ½ teaspoon of black pepper.

Hard-boil the eggs for about 8 minutes. Then cool them, peel them, chop them finely with a knife, and mash the yolk with a fork. Place them in a bowl.

Chop the leek into very fine slices and then cut them into small cubes. You can scald it with boiling water and then drain it if you don’t like spicier flavors.

Drain the tuna thoroughly and chop the cucumbers into small cubes. Transfer all ingredients to the egg and mix thoroughly.

In a separate small bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard and lemon juice. Transfer the sauce to the bowl with the ingredients and mix everything thoroughly with a fork until you obtain a sandwich paste with large pieces of eggs and fish.

Place the egg and leek paste in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the flavors combine. Serve it on fresh, crusty bread.
