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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry, if frozen, and roll it out to a thickness of about 3-4 mm.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Cut the puff pastry into 6 equal squares (about 12 cm x 12 cm each).

Step 5

Place approximately 2 heaping tablespoons of the tuna mixture into the center of each pastry square.

Step 6

Fold each pastry square diagonally to form a triangle, ensuring the edges meet. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each one for puffing up during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp.

Step 10

Allow the pasties to cool slightly before serving.
