Ingredients
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Prepare the tuna mixture: In a medium bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, canned tuna, breadcrumbs, and an egg. Mix well until the mixture holds together when formed into patties.
-
Form the patties: Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. If the mixture feels too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
-
Cook the patties: Heat oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
-
Melt the cheese: Top each patty with a slice of cheese and cover the skillet with a lid. Let it melt for 1-2 minutes.
-
Serve: Serve the tuna melt patties immediately, either on their own or on a bun with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, or pickles.
Notes
You can use different cheese varieties like mozzarella, pepper jack, or gouda for varied flavors.
Add vegetables like bell peppers, celery, or onions to the mixture for extra crunch.
For a spicier twist, include a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
