Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 None refrigerated pie crusts; 8 oz cauliflower, cut into small florets; 3 tbsp butter, chopped; 1 medium onion, chopped; 1/4 cup flour; 1 1/2 cups milk; 2 tbsp Dijon mustard; 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese; 2 cans (5 oz each) tuna, drained; 1 None egg, lightly beaten

Servings: persons

1
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. Line a 9-inch pie dish with 1 of the crusts. Trim edge, leaving a small overhang of pastry. Line with parchment paper and fill with baking beans. Place dish on baking pan. Bake for 15 mins. Remove baking paper and beans and bake for 10 mins, or until golden brown; cool. Trim excess pastry.
2
Meanwhile, boil, steam or microwave cauliflower until almost tender.
3
Melt butter in a large saucepan on medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, until soft. Stir in flour; cook, stirring, for 1 min. Stir in 1/2 cup milk; stir over heat until mixture boils and thickens. Repeat with remaining milk in 2 batches. Stir in mustard, cheese and tuna, breaking up any large lumps (but don't stir too much or tuna will disintegrate and become mushy). Stir in the cauliflower. Season to taste. Cool.
4
Spoon tuna filling into pie crust. Brush edge of pie with a little egg. Place remaining pie crust over the top. Lightly press the edge with a fork to seal; trim edge. Pierce a few holes in the top with a knife to allow steam to escape. If you like, use some of the pastry scraps to make a fish shape to go on top. Brush pie lightly with egg.
5
Bake for 25 mins, or until golden brown.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
