In a large bowl, combine the drained canned tuna, breadcrumbs, and shredded cheese along with your choice of spices. Crack in the egg to bind the ingredients, mixing until well combined.

Shape the mixture into patties about 1 inch thick and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to help maintain their shape.

Heat a skillet over medium heat, add oil, and cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

For extra cheesiness, place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.

Serve the patties warm on toasted bread or English muffins with fresh salad on the side.
