Instructions
- In a bowl, combine canned tuna, mayonnaise, onion, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Cut quick melt cheese into strips. Set aside.
- Trim the edges of the sliced bread and flatten until very thin using a rolling pin.
- Spoon tuna filling on the lower part of the bread and add a cheese strip.
- Fold the upper half of the bread over the filling. Using the tines of a fork, press on the edges to fully seal.
- In a separate bowl, add eggs and milk. Whisk until well combined.
- Briefly dip bread pocket in egg mixture and roll in crumbs, patting down to fully coat.
- In a wide pan over medium heat, heat about 2-inches deep of oil. Add the breaded pies in a single layer and deep-fry until crunchy and golden.
- Remove from pan and drain on a wire rack. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Drain the canned tuna well to prevent an overly wet filling from tearing the bread.
- Dip the pies in the milk/egg mixture briefly lest moisture makes the bread soggy.
