For a richer flavor, use tuna packed in olive oil. Drain well before flaking. Add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the breadcrumbs for an extra cheesy crust. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like peas, corn, or diced bell peppers. If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs will work fine. For a crispy topping, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
