At its base, this Tuna Patties recipe is made with 2 cans of tuna, mayo, eggs, and breadcrumbs.Modify it to your taste every time you make it! I always keep canned tuna and breadcrumbs in my pantry to make this easy dinner that everyone loves! It’s a great way to get fish into toddlers and kids, and if you always have eggs in the fridge, you have everything you need to make it! I flavored these tuna patties simply with dried thyme and scallions (because I always have them in the fridge), but you can modify it to your taste! Don’t change the eggs, mayo or bread crumbs, but the rest can be modified.Ingredients Tuna.
I’m going to get really controversial really quickly: I like canned tuna packed in oil, not water! Tuna packed in oil is so much more moist than the stuff packed in water! I know the calorie difference might bother some of you, so use whatever tuna you prefer.Eggs.Two large eggs.
They bring moisture and richness to the patty and help bind it together, and no, you may not substitute anything else.Eggs are essential.Mayonnaise.
One-third cup of mayonnaise also brings moisture to the patty and binds everything together.I have used regular Duke’s mayo, olive oil mayo and kewpie mayo–all are great here! Dried
