Ingredients

• 12 oz Canned tuna
• 1 stalk Celery
• 0.5 medium Onion
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 cans Crescent roll dough
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tbsp Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and flake it into a medium mixing bowl.

Step 3

Finely chop the celery and onion, and add them to the bowl with the tuna.

Step 4

Stir in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 5

Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange the triangles in a circular shape on the prepared baking sheet, overlapping the wide edges slightly to form a ring.

Step 6

Spoon the tuna mixture evenly along the wide edges of the dough.

Step 7

Fold the narrow tips of the dough triangles over the filling and tuck them under the edges of the ring to secure it.

Step 8

Bake the ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

While the ring bakes, prepare the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 10

Stir in the flour to form a paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly.

Step 11

Slowly add the milk, whisking to prevent lumps. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the mixture thickens.

Step 12

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 13

Once the tuna ring is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter.

Step 14

Drizzle the cheese sauce over the tuna ring or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 15

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Tuna Ring with Cheese Sauce!
