Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 stalks (finely chopped) green onion
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 8 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
- 4 tablespoons (melted) unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped green onion, lemon juice, black pepper, and salt. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Unroll the phyllo pastry sheets and keep them covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
Take one sheet of phyllo and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush it with butter as well. Repeat until you have 2 layers of 4 sheets, creating two stacks.
Cut each stack of phyllo sheets into 4 long strips (approximately 3 inches wide). You’ll have 8 strips total.
Place a heaping spoonful of the tuna mixture at one end of a phyllo strip. Fold the corner over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding, maintaining the triangle shape, until the strip is fully wrapped. Repeat with the remaining strips.
Arrange the tuna triangles on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down. Brush the tops with more melted butter.
Bake the triangles for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
