Description

A delicate and quick spread for breakfast made with tuna in its own juice, cottage cheese or sour cream, and fresh chives. This is a classic, nationwide suggestion for sandwiches and bread, but with the addition of cottage cheese and chives, it gains a fresh spring character. The spread has a creamy consistency, a slightly salty taste from the tuna and pickled cucumber (optional), and a herbal note from the chives. It works great on slices of rye bread, whole grain rolls, or as a dip for vegetables – it is nutritious, quick, and easy to modify to suit the tastes of your household.

Preparation steps

1

Prepare the eggs. Place 2 eggs in a medium pot and cover them with cold water so that the water is 2-3 cm above the eggs. Put the pot on high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook uncovered for 9 minutes to achieve hard-boiled eggs with a well-set yolk.

Use a pot with a diameter suitable for the number of eggs, so they don't bump into each other. Set a timer for 9 minutes. After cooking, rinse the eggs with cold water or place them in a bowl of ice water for 3-4 minutes — this will make peeling easier.
2

Drain the tuna. Open the can of tuna and pour the contents through a sieve or drain thoroughly over a bowl, pressing with a spoon to remove excess liquid. Transfer the drained tuna to a large bowl and flake it with a fork into smaller pieces.

Ingredients: Tuna
Use a strainer to drain and a large bowl. Do not discard the liquid — you can use it for fish soup, but not for the paste, as it will thin the consistency. The tuna meat should be moist, but not watery.
3

Peel and chop the eggs. Peel the boiled eggs and cut them in half first, then into smaller pieces. Add the eggs to the bowl with tuna and mash with a fork or potato masher to the desired consistency — leave a few larger pieces for texture.

Ingredients: Tuna
Use a cutting board and a sharp knife. If you don't want chunks, briefly blend with a blender, but be careful not to make the paste too smooth.
4

Add the cottage cheese and mix. To the bowl with tuna and egg, add 150 g of semi-fat cottage cheese. Mix vigorously with a fork or spatula until the ingredients combine into a creamy mass. If the mixture is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of water from the drained tuna or a little cream (alternatively yogurt) until you reach the desired consistency.

Ingredients: Semi-fat cottage cheese, Tuna
Use a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula. If you are using grainy cottage cheese and want a smooth paste, mash the cottage cheese further with a fork before mixing.
5

Chop the onion and chives. Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes (about 2-3 mm). Wash the chives, dry them, and chop them finely into small pieces. Add both ingredients to the bowl with the paste.

Ingredients: Onion, Chives
Use a sharp knife and a cutting board. If the onion is strong, after cutting you can rinse it with cold water and dry it — this will remove the excess sharpness.
6

Season the paste. Add salt and pepper: start with a pinch of salt and two pinches of freshly ground pepper, mix and taste. If you are using pickled cucumber or lemon juice (optional), add finely chopped pickled cucumber and a few drops of lemon juice now, mix again and adjust the seasoning.

Ingredients: Salt, Black pepper, Pickled cucumber, Lemon
Season gradually — it's easier to add than to take away. Use a teaspoon for tasting. Additionally, you can add pickled cucumber or lemon for freshness.
7

Serving. Transfer the paste to a bowl and garnish with additional chives. Serve immediately on whole grain bread, a roll, or as a dip for raw vegetables (carrots, bell peppers).

Ingredients: Chives
Use a wide spoon to spread on the bread. The best is a thickly spread slice of dark bread with added pickled cucumber or a slice of fresh cucumber for contrast.

Fun Fact

💡

Tuna pasta is a quick variation of traditional Polish sandwich spreads (e.g. egg or herring paste). Using cottage cheese instead of mayonnaise gives it a lighter, local character.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve with dark, crispy bread, fresh radishes, and slices of cucumber. To enhance the flavor, add a few drops of olive oil or a dab of Sarepska mustard.

🥡 Storage

Store in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Before serving, mix the paste and check the seasoning — a sprinkle of salt may be stronger after a few hours. Do not freeze.
