Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, cream together the cream cheese, shallots, capers, lemon juice, parsley, pepper, and salt.
  2. In a medium bowl, place the tuna. Fold the cream cheese mixture into the tuna, mixing well. Adjust the seasoning, to taste.
  3. Transfer the tuna to a bowl, cover, and chill slightly before serving, about 1 hour.
  4. To serve, spread about 11/2 teaspoons of the mousse onto each bruschetta or bread round. Top half of the servings with a slice of hard-boiled egg, and the other half with chopped tomatoes. Arrange on platters and serve. (The mousse can be made up to 24 hours in advance and kept refrigerated.)
  5. Bruschetta:
  6. 1 loaf Italian bread, such as ciabatta, or French baguette, cut crosswise into 1/3 to 1/2-inch slices, ends discarded
  7. 1/4 cup olive oil
  8. Preheat the grill to medium-high, or the oven to 400 degrees F.
  9. Brush 1 side of each slice lightly with olive oil. Place the bread slices on the grill and cook until marked and lightly toasted, about 1 minute per side. (Alternatively, place the bread slices on a large baking sheet and bake until light golden brown, about 8 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheet before handling or serving.)
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  11. Yield: 3 dozen pieces
