Ingredients

• 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup diced celery
• 0.25 cup diced red onion
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the drained tuna with mayonnaise, diced celery, and diced red onion. Set aside in the refrigerator while preparing the biscuits.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 4

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Gradually add the milk, stirring gently, until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop dollops of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on top.

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Slice the biscuits in half and generously top each bottom half with the tuna mixture.

Step 11

Place the top half of the biscuit back on and garnish with parsley, if desired.

Step 12

Serve the tuna with cheese garlic biscuits warm and enjoy!
