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)
Directions
Step 1
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Flake the tuna with a fork to break it into small pieces.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Flip the patties carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the patties from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the patties warm as a snack, appetizer, or alongside a fresh salad or dipping sauce for a complete meal.
