  2. In a medium-sized bowl, crack one large egg and whisk it thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Add your well-drained tuna and shredded cheese to the bowl with the whisked egg, mixing until evenly distributed.
  4. For an extra cheesy crust, sprinkle a teaspoon of shredded cheese directly onto the preheated waffle maker before adding the tuna mixture.
