How to Make Tuna Cheese Flips

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine the drained tuna, lemon pepper seasoning, chopped olives, mayonnaise, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. Separate the refrigerated biscuits into 10 individual biscuits.
  4. Gently press or roll each biscuit into a 5-inch circle. Use a lightly floured surface if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the tuna mixture onto the center of each circle.
  6. Fold the dough in half over the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
  7. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal completely.
  8. In a small bowl, beat the egg.
  9. Brush both sides of each tuna flip with the beaten egg.
  10. Press both sides of each tuna flip into the crushed potato chips to coat evenly.
  11. Place the tuna flips onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  12. With a sharp knife, make two or three 1/2-inch slits in the top of each sandwich to allow steam to escape.
  13. Bake for 18-24 minutes, or until the tuna flips are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
