Tuna Puff Pastry Pie: A Savory Delight

This golden, flaky tuna puff pastry pie is my secret weapon for summer dinners when I want something savory, satisfying, and super simple. With melty cheese, herbs, and that crispy pastry crunch — it’s an instant hit at the table and perfect for prepping ahead!

Ingredients:

 1 can of tuna (145g), drained

 1 onion, finely chopped

 1 paprika (or red bell pepper), finely chopped

 Puff pastry sheets (usually 2 — one for base, one for top)

 1 cup grated cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)

 1 egg (for brushing)

 5g dried oregano (or fresh if available)

 Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, mix tuna, onion, paprika, grated cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper until combined.

3. Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and place it on the baking sheet. Spread the tuna mixture evenly on top, leaving about 1 inch at the edges.

4. Place the second sheet of puff pastry over the filling. Press edges with a fork to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top for steam to escape.

5. Beat the egg and brush over the top for a glossy golden finish.

6. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until puffed and deeply golden brown.

7. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Tips:

– You can prep the filling ahead and assemble just before baking.

– Add black olives or chopped boiled egg for a twist.

– Serve with a side salad for the perfect light summer meal.

 Crisp, cheesy, herby, and flaky — this savory pie disappears fast, so you might want to double it!
