Broccoli Cheddar Patties (Print-Friendly Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 cloves of garlic, chopped up small
02 - Half a medium onion, diced up
03 - 4 cups broccoli bits, cooked till soft then chopped real fine

→ Dairy

04 - Half a cup Parmesan, shredded up
05 - 1 cup sharp cheddar, grated

→ Binders

06 - A quarter cup almond meal or flour, whichever you like
07 - 2 eggs, lightly whisked

→ Seasoning and Oil

08 - A bit of olive oil to fry
09 - Salt and pepper, just enough for your taste

→ Optional Additions

10 - Sprinkle over breadcrumbs if you want a crunchier outside
11 - Toss in a little basil, parsley, cumin, or paprika if you want more flavor

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Pop your warm patties on a plate and dip into your favorite sauces. They go great as a munch, with a meal, or just for snacking.
02 - Baking? Crank your oven to 190°C, put parchment paper on a tray, arrange patties, and bake for 15–20 minutes, turning them halfway to get golden on both sides. Frying? Warm up oil on medium heat, set patties gently in without crowding, cook 3–4 mins each side till crispy and browned. Move them to paper towels to soak up extra oil.
03 - Grab a scoop or your hands and shape mix into round patties—aim for 5–7 cm wide and 1.5 cm thick. Keep going till all the mix is used up.
04 - Toss in onion, garlic, eggs, Parmesan, cheddar, flour or almond meal, plus a shake of salt and pepper. Mix until everything sticks together nicely.
05 - Dice your cooked broccoli into tiny pieces with a big knife or food chopper, but leave some texture. Dump it all in a big bowl.
06 - Boil or steam the broccoli florets until soft—about 5–7 minutes. Drain good and let cool off a bit.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Don’t go overboard with cheese or the patties might fall apart. Give each patty a good squeeze to hold them together.
02 - For gluten-free, just stick with almond meal or GF flour—they keep it tasty.
03 - Try chucking in some fresh herbs or heat like paprika for more big flavor.
04 - Make sure all water is drained off your broccoli so things don’t end up soggy.
