Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 cups broccoli florets chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Steam broccoli until bright green and just tender, 4 minutes. Drain well, then press dry in a clean towel and chop finely.
  3. In a large bowl, mix broccoli, cheddar, Parmesan, flour, eggs, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper until the mixture holds together when pressed.
  4. Scoop 2 tablespoons mixture per patty and press into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. Place on the baking sheet with space between patties.
  5. Lightly brush tops with olive oil.
  6. Bake 10 minutes, flip, then bake 10 minutes more until deep golden at the edges and set in the center.
  7. Rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

- Drain and press the broccoli very dry to prevent loose patties.
- For a lower carb option, swap the flour for 1/4 cup almond meal.
- If the mixture feels wet, stir in 2 tbsp flour; if it feels dry, stir in 1 tbsp beaten egg.
- Reheat leftovers in a 350°F toaster oven for 6 minutes to keep them crisp.
