Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Tuna Mixture

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, breadcrumbs, onion, celery, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed into patties.

Step 2: Shape the Patties

  1. Divide the tuna mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a flat patty about 1/2-inch thick.
  2. Place a small mound of shredded cheese (about 1 tablespoon) in the center of each patty.
  3. Carefully fold the edges of the patty over the cheese, sealing it completely to create a ball. Gently reshape into a patty, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed.

Step 3: Cook the Patties

  1. Heat the olive oil (or butter) in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side , or until golden brown and crispy on the outside and the cheese is melted inside.
  3. Avoid overcrowding the skillet—cook in batches if necessary, adding more oil as needed.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  2. Serve hot with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce or sriracha mayo.
  3. Pair with a side salad, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Tips for Success:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Opt for high-quality canned tuna (in water or oil, depending on preference) for the best flavor.
  • Cheese options: Swap cheddar for mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for a different melt factor or spice level.
  • Make ahead: Assemble the patties ahead of time, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking.
  • Bake option: For a lighter version, bake the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes , flipping halfway through.
