Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece store-bought pie crust
- 200 grams canned tuna
- 150 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 50 grams onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 15 grams butter
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Roll out the store-bought pie crust and press it into a greased 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and set aside.
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna (drain excess liquid), shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, heavy cream, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the cooked onion and garlic mixture, black pepper, salt, and chopped parsley.
Pour the tuna mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Tuna Cheese Pie!
