Felt like having flavoured tuna in a can. Bought a few different flavours. It’s time to bring out my old kitchen gadget: jaffle maker. Give it a good cleaning before using it. This is my lazy, quick lunch, and not many utensils to wash up.

Google: “A jaffle is a toasted sandwich, specifically one made using a special device called a jaffle iron or maker. These devices usually have grooves that cut the sandwich in two and seal the edges, creating a unique toasted sandwich experience.”

Today, I am adding eggs to make a parcel as seen on internet cooking blogs. I do the tuna jaffle first then cook the eggs. Next place the cooked tuna jaffle on top of eggs as they are almost cooked, and fold it to make a parcel. This a trial and error and as usual I love to change the ingredients to call it my own creation. Let’s try and taste!!!

Ingredients

Jaffle tuna

2 slices of bread
1 can of lemon pepper tuna
3-4 Tbs milk
butter to spread bread

Egg parcel

4 eggs
1 Tbs butter
salt
pepper
salad
chili sauce
BBQ sauce (OPT)

Method

Jaffle tuna

Spread butter on the bread slices. Place buttered slice bread on to the jaffle maker. Spread some butter onto the slice bread in the jaffle. Add some salad to sliced of bread. Then spread evenly lemon pepper tuna over the salads. Place the second buttered bread slice on top of the filling. Then spread some butter over the top of the second slice.

Close the jaffle, clip it shut. Plug the cord into the wall socket. Press button on and cook until the bread is golden brown and the filling is heated through.  The button will show red when it’s cooking. When done it wil turn to green.

When it’s green switch off the plug. Remove it from the wall socket. Carefully open the jaffle maker. Use a spatula to gently remove the cooked sandwich. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Egg parcel

Crack eggs into a large measurement jar. Add your milk, salt, and pepper. Beat vigorously with a fork until the mixture is uniform, airy, and slightly frothy. Place a nonstick saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 1 Tbs butter and let it melt until it starts to foam but is not yet browned.

Pour the egg mixture into the center of the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for 15 to 20 seconds to allow the bottom layer to just begin setting. Using a silicone spatula, gently push the cooked edges of the eggs from the perimeter toward the center. Tilt the pan slightly so any remaining liquid egg fills in the empty space.

As the eggs form soft curds and there is very little liquid left, place the 2 triangles cooked jaffle tuna in the center. Then start folding to seal the jaffle tuna; fold from left and right sides inward, then the top and bottom toward the center. Carefully flip over the whole parcel. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to seal the top and bottom in the center.

Turn off the heat just before the eggs get too cooked. The residual heat will finish the cooking while keeping them silky and moist. Remove the folded jaffle tuna egg parcel from the pan immediately to prevent over-cooked. Transfer to a plate. Squirt chili sauce and drizzle BBQ sauce if using. Serve immediately with a cup of brewed coffee, tea or orange juice. Enjoy!!!
