Makes 2
6 oz can water pack tuna, drained
1 egg
4 grape tomatoes, chopped (garnish)
Mix tuna and egg in a small bowl. Form into 2 patties. Coat a nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray on medium heat.
Add patties and cook about 2 minutes on each side until cooked through.
When my tuna cakes are done I place them on a pretty plate with 3 tablespoons of cheese sauce on top and browned grape tomatoes. I love this meal and eat it all the time to lose big!
