Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Open the can of tuna. Tilt the lid slightly to drain out all the oil. This prepares the tuna for the salad.
Step 2
Drain the sweet corn from the can and rinse it under running water. If you have leftover corn, portion it and freeze for future use in dishes like fried rice or cheesy corn.
Step 3
Finely chop the onion and dill pickles. Chopping them very finely ensures a pleasant texture in the salad.
Step 4
Boil the eggs until hard-cooked. A firm yolk blends well into the salad.
Step 5

Step 6
Once the eggs are boiled, peel them and finely mash or chop them with a fork or knife. Aim for a texture that is not too chunky.
Step 7
In a large bowl, combine the drained tuna, corn, chopped onion, chopped pickles, dried cranberries, and mashed eggs. Add the mayonnaise, honey mustard, grated Parmesan cheese, fresh lemon juice, and sugar. Season with a pinch of black pepper and dried parsley. Adding Parmesan cheese not only enhances the savory flavor but also helps to thicken the dressing slightly.
Step 8
Mix all the ingredients gently until well combined. Your delicious egg tuna salad is now ready! You can use it immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for a short while.
Step 9
Take 4 slices of bread. For neat sandwiches, place two slices together and use a serrated knife to trim off the crusts. (Leftover crusts can be made into breadcrumbs or enjoyed as is.)
Step 10
Spread a thin layer of orange jam (or your preferred jam) on the inside of each of the bottom bread slices. Top with a slice of cheddar cheese, then generously spoon the egg tuna salad over the cheese. You can find the orange jam recipe here: @6996724. Finally, place the remaining bread slices on top to complete the sandwiches.
Step 11
Using a serrated knife, carefully cut each sandwich in half. Sprinkle a little dried parsley on the cut edges for a decorative touch. Enjoy your savory, tangy, and creamy egg tuna sandwich!
