In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and lemon juice until well combined.
Add breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, tuna, diced onion, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
Form mixture into about 6 patties.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place patties in skillet, leaving space between them.
Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove and let rest for 1 minute before serving.

Use plain breadcrumbs with added Italian seasoning if preferred.

Swap Parmesan with Pecorino Romano or cheddar for a different flavor.

For baking, cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.

Make gluten-free by using GF breadcrumbs or crushed GF crackers.

Add extra seasonings like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or herbs for variety.

To prevent falling apart, ensure tuna is well-drained and adjust breadcrumb amount if mixture is too wet.
