Beat eggs and mix in crumbs, pickles, green onion, salt and pepper. Crumble in the tuna and add the shredded cheese; toss to combine. Form mixture into four equal-sized patties, each about 1/2-in (1 cm) thick.
Chill for 15 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large, nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the tuna patties without crowding the pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until lightly browned. Top each patty with a cheese slice. Cover the pan and remove from the heat. Let stand for 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Transfer patties to buns and top with pickles, lettuce, tomato and onion (if using).
Makes 4 burgers.
Tip: To cook the patties on the grill: Preheat the grill to medium and grease well. Cook the patties for 3 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Add the cheese slices during the last minute of cooking.
