120 ml breadcrumbs
03 -
60 ml mayonnaise
04 -
1 large egg
05 -
5 ml Dijon mustard
06 -
2.5 ml garlic powder

2.5 ml onion powder

2.5 ml salt

15 g butter, for cooking
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a large bowl, mix together the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
02 -
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions. Shape the mixture into 4 to 5 uniform patties.
03 -
Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until each patty is golden brown and crisp on the exterior.
04 -
Serve patties hot on toasted bread, an English muffin, or with a fresh salad. For an extra cheesy finish, top with additional cheese and place under a broiler for 1 minute until melted.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For extra crispness, use panko instead of regular breadcrumbs. If the mixture is too wet, add extra breadcrumbs; if too dry, add a teaspoon of mayonnaise. Substitute Swiss, mozzarella, or Pepper Jack cheese for flavor variation.
