Ingredients:

6 oz canned tuna
170g
1/3 cup multi-grain oatmeal
27g
2 tbsp onion
20g
1/4 tsp garlic powder
0.78g
1/4 cup low moisture mozzarella cheese
50g
1 egg
54g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Drain the canned tuna thoroughly.
- Finely chop the onion.
2. Mix the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, multi-grain oatmeal, chopped onion, and garlic powder.
- Add in the shredded mozzarella cheese and the lightly beaten egg.
- Mix everything together until well combined, ensuring the mixture is even and holds together.
3. Form the Patties:
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and form into patties. This recipe should make about 4-5 patties, depending on the size you prefer.
- Press each patty firmly to ensure they hold their shape during cooking.
4. Cook the Patties:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a small amount of cooking oil or spray.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the patties.
- Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Ensure the patties are cooked through and the cheese is melted.
5. Serve:
- Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve immediately while they're hot and the cheese is perfectly melted. You can serve them with a side salad, a dipping sauce, or even on a bun if you prefer.

Tips:

- Drain the tuna thoroughly: Make sure to drain the canned tuna well to avoid excess moisture in the patties.

- Finely chop the onion: Chop the onion finely to ensure it mixes evenly with the other ingredients and cooks through properly.

- Use an ice cream scoop: Use an ice cream scoop or measuring cup to ensure that the patties are of equal size, which helps them cook evenly.

- Preheat the skillet: Preheat the skillet over medium heat before adding the patties to ensure they get a nice, crispy exterior.

- Cook in batches if needed: If your skillet is not large enough, cook the patties in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.

Tuna patties with multi-grain oatmeal and mozzarella cheese are a fantastic way to enjoy the classic flavors of a tuna melt in a healthier and more convenient form.
