Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (5 oz) tuna, drained
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, cottage cheese, almond flour, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the patties for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Notes
- Drain the tuna well before mixing to avoid soggy patties.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for a firmer texture.
- If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more almond flour, one tablespoon at a time.
- Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for best results. Avoid the microwave to keep them crispy.
- Serve with a side salad, dipping sauce, or inside a lettuce wrap.
