Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil spray.
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.
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.
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.
Pour the tuna mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Brush the edges of the pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is piping hot.
Remove from oven and let the tuna pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat classic tuna pie.
