The secret to making soft, super creamy Venetian tuna and egg sandwiches with the perfect rounded shape
Wandering through the streets of the Serenissima, it's impossible not to be captivated by the windows of the famous bacari. There, the classic Venetian tuna and egg tramezzini reign supreme, irresistible and famous the world over.
- Long sandwich bread 4 slices
- 200g drained tuna in oil
- Eggs 3
- Mayonnaise 180g
- Salt 1 pinch
- Black pepper
- Place the eggs in a saucepan of cold water, bring to a boil, and cook for 8-9 minutes until perfectly hard-boiled. Immediately rinse the eggs under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Peel them and finely chop them with a knife or mash them with a fork.
- Drain the tuna from the preserving oil, pour it into a bowl, and shred it finely with a fork. Add the chopped eggs, mayonnaise, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkling of black pepper to the bowl.
- Mix vigorously with a spatula until the filling is rich, smooth, and very creamy. Lay the bread slices out on a cutting board and generously distribute the filling in the center of each slice, concentrating more in the middle to create the typical rounded shape of a Venetian tramezzino.
- Cover with the second slice, gently seal the four edges, leaving the center puffed up, and cut diagonally to obtain perfect triangles. Wrap the sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes: they will be incredibly fresh and perfectly firm.
The secret to their success? A creamy tramezzini filling that literally explodes from the center of the slice. Today you'll discover the authentic Venetian tramezzini bombati recipe, super easy to replicate at home.
