Canned Tuna Pie

8 servings

30 minutes

Tuna pie is an original dish of Russian cuisine that combines tender yeast dough with a rich fish filling. The history of such a pie goes back to the past when housewives sought to use simple yet nutritious ingredients to create hearty and tasty baked goods. Fragrant and soft, with a slight creamy hint from the cheese, it is perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive table. The golden crust and juicy filling of tuna with onions and mayonnaise make it not only delicious but also harmoniously balanced in texture. This pie is easy to prepare and pairs well with hot tea or a light vegetable salad.
