Ingredients
- 8 pieces (1 can) Crescent roll dough
- 1 can (5 oz) Tuna, canned in water
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Celery, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dill pickle, finely diced
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 Egg, beaten (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon Butter, melted (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Open the canned tuna and drain it well. Transfer the tuna to a mixing bowl.
Step 3
To the bowl, add mayonnaise, celery, dill pickle, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until evenly combined.
Step 4
Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles as marked on the packaging.
Step 5
Place a heaping tablespoon of the tuna mixture onto the base (wide end) of each crescent triangle.
Step 6
Sprinkle a small amount of the remaining shredded cheese over the tuna mixture.
Step 7
Roll up the crescent starting from the wide end and tucking the pointed end underneath. Place each roll seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish. Optionally, brush with melted butter for extra flavor.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 10
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crescent tuna melts to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy your Crescent Tuna Melts with a side of salad or soup!
