Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 ounces, drained) Canned tuna
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks (finely chopped) Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 package (thawed according to package instructions) Puff pastry sheets
- 1 (beaten for egg wash) Egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped green onions, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut the sheets into approximately 4x4-inch squares.
Place about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the tuna and cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
Carefully fold the puff pastry squares into triangles by bringing one corner to the opposite corner. Press the edges firmly together using your fingers or a fork to seal.
Place the sealed tuna flips onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Brush the tops of each tuna flip with beaten egg using a pastry brush. This will give them a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and fully puffed.
Remove from the oven and let the tuna cheese flips cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or light meal. Enjoy!
