1/3 cup (75 mL)
dry bread crumbs
2 tbsp (30 mL)
each finely chopped dill pickles and green onion
1/4 tsp (1 mL)
each salt and pepper
2 cans (170 each)
Clover Leaf Flaked White Tuna, drained

1 tbsp (15 mL)

Preparation
- Beat eggs and mix in crumbs, pickles, green onion, salt and pepper. Crumble in the tuna and add the shredded cheese; toss to combine. Form mixture into four equal-sized patties, each about 1/2-in (1 cm) thick.
- Chill for 15 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the tuna patties without crowding the pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Top each patty with a cheese slice. Cover the pan and remove from the heat. Let stand for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Transfer patties to buns and top with pickles, lettuce, tomato and onion (if using).
Tip: To cook the patties on the grill: Preheat the grill to medium and grease well. Cook the patties for 3 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Add the cheese slices during the last minute of cooking.
