• 2 cans (5 oz each) tuna, well drained
• 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
• 2 large eggs

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with foil and lightly grease it so nothing sticks and the edges crisp up nicely.

2. Mix the Base

In a bowl, combine:

• drained tuna
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• eggs

Mix until everything is fully combined and slightly sticky.

Let it rest for 2–3 minutes so the mixture binds better.

3. Shape the Bites

Scoop the mixture into 12 small mounds on the tray.
Gently flatten each one slightly — like little rustic patties.

4. Add the Cheese

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the tops. Let some fall over the edges for extra crispy, golden bits.

5. Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, until:

• edges are golden and crispy
• cheese is bubbly
• centers are fully set

For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes (watch closely).

6. Rest & Serve

Let them cool for 5 minutes so they firm up. Then lift carefully and serve warm while the cheese is still melty.
