Ingredients
- 2 cups finely chopped broccoli (steamed or blanched)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Prep the Broccoli: Steam or blanch broccoli until tender, then finely chop. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, eggs, green onions (if using), garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form Patties: Scoop a small amount of the mixture and form into patties using your hands. Press them gently to shape.
- Cook: Heat a little olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain. Serve warm with sour cream, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
