Ingredients
2 cups cooked broccoli, finely chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
Olive oil or nonstick spray (for cooking)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet with a thin layer of oil over medium heat.
In a large bowl, mix chopped cooked broccoli, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, eggs, garlic powder, green onions (if using), salt, and pepper.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into small patties.
To bake: Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spray tops with nonstick spray. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.
To pan-fry: Heat oil in skillet and cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Serve warm with dipping sauce like ranch, sour cream, or spicy mayo.
Notes
Use leftover steamed broccoli or cook fresh florets and chop finely.
Add cooked quinoa or rice for extra bulk.
These freeze well! Flash freeze after forming patties, then store in bags for quick meals.
Great as a veggie burger base or breakfast side.
