NIçOISE TOAST
Fried bread is our contribution to the classic Niçoise. And this recipe is the moment to splurge on the best-quality tuna (we love Ortiz brand) you can afford-it makes all the difference in a simple preparation like this. The meaty, sustainably caught Spanish tuna packed in buttery olive oil is worth the splurge.

Steps:
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Gently lower eggs into pot with a slotted spoon and cook 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool. Peel eggs; set aside.
- Toss lemon juice, tomatoes, shallot, sugar, and a pinch of kosher salt in a medium bowl.
- Whisk mayonnaise, garlic, vinegar, and paprika in a small bowl; season with kosher salt.
- Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium until shimmering. Add 2 slices of bread and cook, adjusting heat as needed, until bottoms are deeply browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle fried side with kosher salt. Repeat with another 2 Tbsp. oil and remaining slices of bread.
- Spread mayonnaise over toasted side of bread. Top with tuna and tomato mixture; spoon some of the juices over. Tear each egg into 3 or 4 pieces and arrange on top; season with sea salt and pepper. Scatter herbs and olives over; drizzle with oil.
- Do Ahead
- Paprika mayonnaise can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
