Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Puff pastry
- 200 grams Canned tuna
- 1 small Red onion
- 100 grams Frozen peas
- 100 grams Cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry, if frozen, and roll it out to a thickness of about 3-4 mm.
In a mixing bowl, combine drained canned tuna, finely chopped red onion, frozen peas, grated cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly blended.
Cut the puff pastry into 6 equal squares (about 12 cm x 12 cm each).
Place approximately 2 heaping tablespoons of the tuna mixture into the center of each pastry square.
Fold each pastry square diagonally to form a triangle, ensuring the edges meet. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges.
Beat the egg in a small bowl to make an egg wash, and brush it over the tops of the pasties for a golden finish.
Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each one for puffing up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Allow the pasties to cool slightly before serving.
