Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Drain the canned tuna thoroughly.
- Finely chop the onion.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
