Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Open the canned tuna and drain it well. Transfer the tuna to a mixing bowl.
To the bowl, add mayonnaise, celery, dill pickle, salt, pepper, Dijon mustard, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until evenly combined.
Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles as marked on the packaging.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the tuna mixture onto the base (wide end) of each crescent triangle.
Sprinkle a small amount of the remaining shredded cheese over the tuna mixture.
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.
Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish. Optionally, brush with melted butter for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the crescent tuna melts to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Crescent Tuna Melts with a side of salad or soup!
