Tuna & Cheese Loaf

What to give the kids to eat? This is probably one of the hardest questions to answer, especially if you don't feel like eating and will be just fine with coffee... but the kids has to eat... SOMETHING!!
I have tried several tuna pies before, and although mostly delicious, they were dry. 
This recipe makes a single batch of batter, and I had to make 2 batches to fill my dish to the level as you can see in the photo. It comes out like meat loaf - hence the name. It is filling and the kids loved it!!

Preparation time: 10min
Cooking time: 45 min to 1 hour
Serves: 6
Difficulty Level: Very easy

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 tin tuna in water
100g cheese, grated
salt & pepper to taste
1t German mustard
1/2 onion, quartered
1/2cup breadcrumbs

1 roll puff pastry

Method

Put all the ingredients in a mixer and mix until very well mixed and almost smooth in texture. If you have a big and strong enough machine, you can add all at once. If you don't - like me - then you add the chunkier ones first: cheese, egg and onion. Mix. 

Then add the tuna, salt, pepper and mustard. Lastly, add the crumbs to mix. 

Do not roll out the puff pastry. Just cut it to size for your baking dish, to form a bottom and top layer. Place the bottom part of the pastry in a sprayed baking dish. Scoop the mixture in and level out. 

Add the top layer of the pastry. Cut in little slithers, to let some steam out. 

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180degrees C until the pastry is puffed up and a tester comes out clean. The sides will start to lightly brown, too.

Dish up with a salad, maybe some mayonnaise, or as is....

...and enjoy!!!
