Ingredients
2 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Steam broccoli florets until tender (5-7 minutes), then drain thoroughly.
Mix broccoli with cheddar cheese, Parmesan, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Form mixture into 12 equal-sized patties.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets if using a toaster oven or air fryer for extra crisping.
Notes
For baked version: Place oil-dipped patties on a greased baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
Patience during shaping is critical—they will firm up during cooking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze unbaked patties for up to 3 months.
