How to Make Tuna Fish Cheese Patties

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Tear 1/2 cup of bread into small pieces and soak in 2 tablespoons of milk for 2 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the soaked bread, 1 (5 ounce) can of tuna (drained), 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Gently mix all ingredients until well combined.
  5. If the mixture is too wet, gradually add panko breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it holds its shape.
  6. Form the tuna mixture into 4 patties (approximately 1/2 inch thick).
  7. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  8. Carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
  9. Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  10. Let the patties rest for 4-5 minutes before serving. Serve on a plate with pan-fried potatoes, sliced tomatoes, and avocados OR in a toasted pita with lettuce, thin-sliced tomatoes, and a touch of mayo. Garnish with potato chips.
