Ingredients

• 1 sheet whole wheat puff pastry
• 2 cups canned tuna in water
• 150 grams low-fat cream cheese
• 1 medium, chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
• 0.5 cup skim milk
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large, beaten egg
• 1 as needed olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil spray.

Step 2

Unroll the whole wheat puff pastry and place it into the prepared pie dish, trimming any excess edges. Prick the base with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, lightly spray olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the canned tuna, sautéed onion and garlic, low-fat cream cheese, frozen peas and carrots, skim milk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 5

Pour the tuna mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is piping hot.

Step 8

Remove from oven and let the tuna pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat classic tuna pie.
