Tuna breadsticks are a quick and super tasty puff pastry appetizer. I’ve already started thinking about easy recipes without too much hassle for Christmas, blessed puff pastry, I prepared these delicious sticks with a creamy filling, they were a hit, I didn’t even have time to bring all of them to the table, half were already gone. Tuna breadsticks are prepared in less than 10 minutes, but you can also make them in advance to keep in the fridge until ready to bake or freeze them and bake them directly without thawing first, I added a touch that makes them even tastier, special and delicious, I’m sure we’ll love them so much, you absolutely have to prepare them for Christmas Eve, Christmas or New Year’s or for an appetizer with friends!
