Ingredients
- 200 grams canned tuna
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons dried parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and add it to a mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, ground black pepper, salt, and dried parsley to the mixing bowl. Mix well until combined to create the filling.
Step 4
On a clean surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 squares, making a total of 8 squares.
Step 5
Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the tuna and cheese mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.
Step 6
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner to meet the opposite corner. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
Step 7
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of each pastry triangle to help them bake to a golden color.
Step 8
Place the prepared pastries onto the lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
