Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (5 oz each) Canned tuna (in water or oil)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 stalks Green onion (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Flake the tuna with a fork to break it into small pieces.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, finely chopped green onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the tuna. Mix everything well until a cohesive mixture forms.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a flat round patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used, making approximately 8-10 patties.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the patties in the skillet, ensuring they do not overcrowd. Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on one side or until golden brown and crispy.
Flip the patties carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the patties from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the patties warm as a snack, appetizer, or alongside a fresh salad or dipping sauce for a complete meal.
