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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Roll out the store-bought pie crust and press it into a greased 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked onion and garlic mixture, black pepper, salt, and chopped parsley.

Step 6

Pour the tuna mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your Tuna Cheese Pie!
