I had these tonight and they were good but I wish they did stick to the pan as much. I used olive oil extra virgin. Does anyone have another similiar version of tuna burgers or know how I could tweek this recipe?

Thanks!


TUNA PATTIES
1 6 ounce can tuna, drained
1 egg
Dash celery salt and onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 ounce cheddar cheese, shredded
Dash parmesan cheese (one "shake")

Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl; chill at least 30 minutes. Heat oil and a little butter in a large skillet on about medium heat. Gently pat the tuna mixture into 2 large patties with your hands and place them right into the pan (don't try to shape them and set them on a plate first; they'll fall apart when you pick them up). Flatten slightly. Fry about 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned (browning improves the flavor quite a bit). You'll need to flip them very gently as they are very soft.

Makes 1 serving (1.5 carbs)

    Maybe Pam would work better. I also made these into smaller patties.
