The pan bagnat is a popular dish in the region around Nice

socca and pissaladière are strongly linked to the city of Nice, where they have been developed over time out of local ingredients. It is sometimes served as an hors d'oeuvre.[a]

Etymology

The name of the sandwich comes from the local

Nissart, in which pan banhat and the alternative spelling pan bagnat mean "bathed bread".[3]
It is often misspelled "pain bagnat", with the French pain rather than genuine local pan.

Preparation

Pan bagnat is prepared using bread or homemade bread that is generally round (French: pain de ménage) optionally rubbed with garlic,[8] tuna, anchovies, sliced tomato, olives, olive oil, salt and pepper.[3][9] Additional ingredients to prepare the dish can include arugula, basil, artichoke, and red wine vinegar.[3][9] The olive oil is typically used on the bread, which may be marinated or soaked in the oil and then strained off, hence the name "bathed bread".[a][9] The garlic is sometimes used to rub the bread with.[9]
