- 1 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Hot dog relish (or chopped pickles)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing all your sandwich ingredients. Thinly slice the onion, tomato, and avocado. Mash or slice the hard-boiled egg. Halve the bagel and toast it until golden brown and slightly crispy, either in a pan with melted butter or in a toaster. A warm, toasted bagel provides a wonderful base for your sandwich.
Step 2
Thoroughly drain the oil from the canned tuna using a sieve. This step is crucial for achieving a cleaner flavor and preventing the sandwich from being too oily.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the drained tuna with 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 1/2 tablespoon of honey mustard, and 1 tablespoon of hot dog relish (or finely chopped dill pickles mixed with a little onion and mustard). Mix well. The relish adds a tangy zest that cuts through the richness of the tuna, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
Step 4
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of both toasted bagel halves. Then, drizzle or spread the honey mustard over the mayonnaise. These sauces create a delightful creamy and slightly sweet base for the fillings.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to layer your sandwich! Start with the fresh lettuce leaves, arranging them evenly. Next, add the thinly sliced onion for a fresh, crisp bite.
Step 6
Place the slice of cheese on top of the onions. Then, artfully arrange the tomato slices, followed by the prepared hard-boiled egg (mashed or sliced) and the smooth avocado slices. The layers add visual appeal and a variety of textures.
Step 7
Finally, generously spoon the seasoned tuna mixture onto the filling. Place the other bagel half on top to complete your gourmet bagel tuna sandwich. Enjoy this satisfying and delicious creation for a perfect brunch!
