Ingredients

• 1 sheet (thawed as per package instructions) puff pastry sheet
• 1 can (5 oz, drained) canned tuna
• 1.5 cups (shredded) cheddar cheese
• 4 oz (softened) cream cheese
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 stalks (finely chopped) green onions
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 large (beaten) egg
• 1 tablespoon (melted, for brushing) butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, milk, and finely chopped green onions. Stir until the mixture is well combined and creamy.

Step 3

Season the mixture with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a rectangle approximately 12x10 inches.

Step 5

Spread the creamed tuna mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 12 equal slices.

Step 7

Place the slices cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

Brush the tops of each swirl with the beaten egg to promote golden browning during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the swirls are puffed and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, brush lightly with melted butter, and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or a comforting meal alongside a fresh salad or soup.
