CHEESY TUNA MELT BALLS

Steps:

• Add one cup of bread crumbs to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Making Tuna Balls:
• Open the cans of tuna, scoop tuna chunks into a colander and drain.
• Add drained tuna to a large bowl.
• Add 1/4 cup of bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, lemon zest, chopped parsley, 2 beaten eggs, cheese and mayo to a large bowl. Using a spatula stir to combine all the ingredients.
• Using a cookie scoop (I used the 2 tablespoons one), take a scoop of the tuna mixture, dump it into the prepared bowl with bread crumbs. Cover in bread crumbs, roll gently into a more perfect ball and place on a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining tuna mixture.
• Refrigerate tuna balls for at least 1 hour before frying, otherwise they won't hold their shape.

EASY CHEESY BAKED TUNA BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F, and use the tbsp oil to grease a baking sheet.
• In a large mixing bowl combine all the tuna ball ingredients except for the oil and coating ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
• In a separate medium size mixing bowl combine all the breaded coating ingredients. mix together thoroughly.
• Take a tbsp of tuna mixture and roll into a ball shape with hands.
• Roll tuna ball in the breaded coating mixture to cover and place on oiled baking sheet.
• Once done rolling and coating tuna balls, bake for 14 minutes until lightly browned, turning over halfway through cooking time.
• Remove from oven and serve.

CHEESE BALL WITH TUNA

Steps:

• Using a fork flake tuna into small little bits into a bowl.
• Add the cream cheese to the bowl and mash with the fork until everything is well combined.
• Add the dijon a small sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste and continue mashing.
• Add the hot sauce to taste! I add up to a full tablespoon, sometimes more, but this is entirely up to your preference. Add a small amount at a time and taste as you mash until you achieve a flavour you like!.
• Scoop the mixture onto the center of a piece of plastic wrap. Wrap tightly and shape into a ball as you roll. Toss it into th fridge until chilled, or into the freezer for 30 mins or so it you are really strapped for time.
• Serve on a platter with crackers!
• **OPTIONS**.
• You can use a different canned fish too! Try Crab or Salmon!
• Try rolling the ball in finely chopped nuts or grated cheese!
• You can omit the hot sauce and dijon and try other seasonings of your choice! (fresh herbs? garlic? hot peppers?).

STUFFED TUNA BALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt mozzarella & cream cheese in the microwave. I do about 45 seconds, remove from microwave and stir and pop back in for another 45 seconds.
• Add in almond flour and egg until combined.
• Place dough on parchment paper. Top with the second piece of parchment paper and roll out until it's about 1/4" thick.
• Use a round cookie or biscuit cutter. I used a 3" for this recipe for a smaller tuna ball. You can use a larger one if you prefer.
• In a medium size bowl mix together tuna, cream cheese, and chopped green onions.
• Grab a piece of the fat head dough that's been cut out into a circle. Using a teaspoon, put filling onto the dough. Pinch the ends of the dough together and pinch together to ensure the filling isn't going to come out. Roll in the palm of your hand until the dough looks smooth.
• Place seam side down on the baking sheet and repeat the process until the filling is gone. You will need to reroll the extra fat head dough a second time.
• Bake in the oven at 350° for 20 minutes and golden brown.
• Serve with a side of tartar sauce!
