Carnivore Tuna Melt Patties

These Carnivore Tuna Melt Patties are a simple, delicious, and high-protein meal that fits perfectly into a carnivore or keto diet. With a blend of tuna, cheese, and egg, they create a filling meal that’s both savory and satisfying. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 2 cans (5 oz each) of tuna in water or oil (drained)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your choice of cheese)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional, can omit for a stricter carnivore version)
• 1 tbsp melted butter or animal fat (for cooking)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Tuna: Start by draining your tuna thoroughly. Use a fine strainer to remove excess water, ensuring the tuna is as dry as possible to avoid soggy patties. You can also press it with a paper towel.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, eggs, shredded cheese, and optional chopped onion. If you’re adding seasoning, mix in the garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined, ensuring the egg and cheese are evenly distributed through the tuna.
3. Shape the Patties: With your hands, form the tuna mixture into small patties. You should be able to make about 6-8 patties, depending on your desired size.
4. Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the melted butter or animal fat. Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the patties in the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Be gentle when flipping to avoid breaking the patties.
5. Serve: Once cooked, remove the patties from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess fat. Serve the patties as-is, or if you’re not following a strict carnivore diet, top them with extra melted cheese or a dollop of sour cream for extra richness.

Tips & Variations:

• For extra flavor, you can add some hot sauce or a sprinkle of paprika to the tuna mixture.
• If you like more texture, finely chop some bacon or sausage and mix it into the patties.
• Serve these with a side of leafy greens or dip them in your favorite low-carb dressing for more variety.

Enjoy your Carnivore Tuna Melt Patties! These are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they’re packed with protein and healthy fats to keep you full and satisfied.
