Ingredients

  • 1/2 French baguette, split lengthwise
  • 2 6-ounce cans solid white albacore tuna in water, drained and flaked
  • 1/4 cup store-bought black olive tapenade
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (a small handful) flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed and chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 plum tomato, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces Brie cheese, sliced

Yield

Serves: 2 servings

Preparation

Preheat broiler to medium high.

Remove most of the soft, bread "guts" from each side of the baguette and place on a cookie sheet. Transfer the sheet to the oven and broil until golden, about 1-2 minutes.

Once the bread is toasted, combine the tuna, tapenade, lemon juice, EVOO, shallot, parsley and thyme in a bowl and season with a little black pepper.

Spread the tuna mixture over the dug-out part of the toasted baguette, top with the sliced tomatoes and Brie cheese and place under the broiler until the cheese has melted.
