Ingredients
Canned Tuna
½ can - each 5 ounce net weight
Salt
⅛ teaspoon
Black Pepper, Ground
⅛ teaspoon
Celery Seed
⅛ teaspoon
Cheddar Cheese, Natural
1 tablespoon, shredded
Kosher Baby Dills by Great Gherkins
½ ounce
Mayo
1-½ tablespoon
Mozzarella Cheese, Whole Milk
4 slice- each 3/4 ounce
Recipe Steps
steps 5
27 min
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 325 degrees and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine a half can of drained tuna with the mayo, salt, pepper, celery seed, cheddar, and finely diced pickle (approx. 1 small gherkin will do). Set this mix aside for later.Step 2
Lay the mozzarella cheese slices on the sheet tray. Set the tray in the oven and melt the cheese for about 4 minutes - long enough for the cheese to melt but to retain its shape.Step 3
Divide your tuna filling into 4 portions and set each portion near one corner of each mozzarella slice, slightly off-center.Step 4
When the cheese is cool enough to handle, use a spatula to help you pull the farthest corner of each cheese slice over its filling to form a triangle. Fold the wide corners of each triangle pocket inwards to help seal the filling in.Step 5
Set the tray back in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, checking frequently, until the edges and tops of each pocket are golden and crispy. You may bake longer for a fully crispy pocket, but check frequently to avoid burning.

I loved it! I added more spices to give it a kick and hubby and I enjoyed eating it. We felt full after just two pockets.

I tried this with fresh mozzarella and it was great! I only made one as any more is too rich for me!

What about red wine vinegar instead of the baby dills?

These are so good. And surprisingly filling. Even my two year old loved them.

Can I use celery salt instead of celery seed?

Yes, just use discretion to avoid making these too salty.
