- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup celery, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons dill pickles, finely chopped
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional, for brushing the crust)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges if desired. Set aside.
Drain the canned tuna well and flake it into a mixing bowl using a fork.
Add the mayonnaise, celery, onion, dill pickles, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the bowl with the tuna. Stir until well combined.
Spread the tuna mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the tuna mixture, followed by the mozzarella cheese, completely covering the top.
Optional: Brush the edges of the crust with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden finish.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the cheese on top is bubbling and golden and the crust is cooked through.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Tuna Melt Pie!
