Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of the beaten egg and set aside.
- Mix the remaining beaten egg, tuna, chopped onion, cheddar cheese, parsley, celery salt, and pepper.
- Prepare the biscuit dough according to package instructions.
- Roll the dough into a rectangle measuring 15 x 10 inches.
- Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the dough.
- Roll up the dough starting at the wide side to form a log.
- Place the rolled dough seam side down in a ring on a greased baking sheet.
- Pinch the ends together to seal the ring.
- Using scissors, make cuts 2/3 of the way through the ring at 1-inch intervals.
- Turn each section on its side to create a decorative effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
- Brush with the reserved beaten egg during the last few minutes of baking if desired.
- Serve hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of mayonnaise to the tuna mixture. If you don't have Cheddar cheese, any melty cheese like Monterey Jack or Gruyere can be substituted. Fresh herbs can also enhance the flavor; try dill or chives instead of parsley. To simplify, use pre-made biscuit dough from the refrigerator section.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Tuna Biscuit Ring hot as a delightful appetizer or main dish. It pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or a side of roasted vegetables for a complete meal. For a fun twist, serve it with a side of Hot Cheese And Crabmeat Dip, allowing guests to enjoy a seafood-themed feast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the tuna biscuit ring in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual slices for about 30 seconds, but the oven will keep the texture better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh tuna instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh cooked tuna instead of canned. Just ensure it's flaked and seasoned appropriately. Cooking your own tuna will give the dish a fresher taste, but remember to adjust the cooking time if you use a different method to prepare it.
What can I do if I don't have biscuit dough?
If you don't have biscuit dough, you can make your own from scratch with flour, baking powder, butter, and milk. Alternatively, puff pastry can be used for a lighter, flakier texture, but it will require different handling and baking time.
How do I make this dish more spicy?
To add some heat, mix in diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the tuna mixture. You could also sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top before serving for an extra kick. Adjust the spice level according to your taste preference!
