]]> For the mayonnaise:
  1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir until fully incorporated; set aside.
For the sandwich:
  1. Season tuna generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a medium frying pan over high heat until smoking. Add tuna and sear until lightly brown on one side, about 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and sear on the other side, about 1 minute more for rare. Remove to a cutting board and let rest while preparing remaining ingredients.
  2. Combine greens, olives, onion, remaining teaspoon of oil, and vinegar in a medium nonreactive bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Slice tuna on the bias into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.
  3. Divide mayonnaise between the slices of bread and spread evenly. Top one slice of toast with 1/2 of the salad mixture, then 1/2 of the sliced tuna, then 1/2 of the egg slices. Repeat with second piece of toast and serve open-faced.
