Baked Tuna Balls image

These tuna balls are very tasty, they can be made into 10-12 larger balls, or 30-40 smaller cocktail size balls (served with a cocktail picks). If you are one of those people (like myself) that just have to add garlic to everything, no matter what it is, then fresh minced garlic in any amount may be added to these if desired. This recipe can easily be doubled, I usually do if I am making, them into larger balls, for a snack or a main meal.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (6 1/2 ounce) can tuna, drained
1 egg
1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumbs (enough to hold the balls together) or 1/4 cup soft breadcrumbs (enough to hold the balls together)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise (Hellman's is best)

2 -3 tablespoons chopped almonds
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning, to taste
1/2 cup crushed corn flakes (for coating)
3 tablespoons melted butter
seasoning salt (I use seasoning salt for this) or regular white salt, to taste (I use seasoning salt for this)
black pepper, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 375 degrees.
  • Prepare a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan, or any size to fit the tuna balls.
  • In a bowl, combine the tuna, egg, breadcrumbs, mayo, onion, parsley, almonds, mustard, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and fresh garlic, or garlic powder (if using), do NOT add the crushed Corn Flakes cereal; combine well.
  • Shape into 40 balls (for cocktail size) or larger balls, any size you desire.
  • Roll completely and evenly in the crushed Corn Flakes cereal to coat well.
  • Dip the coated balls completely in melted butter.
  • Place on a baking sheet/pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes (for the cocktail size), and 20-25 minutes (depending on how large you make the balls) for the larger size, DON'T OVERBAKE, these do not take long to to get done.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tuna balls were dry and flavorless. I won't be making them again.
