how to Make Them
Step 1: Prepare the Broccoli
Steam or blanch the broccoli just until tender, then chop it finely. If there’s excess moisture, gently squeeze it out to prevent soggy patties.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, shredded cheese, egg, breadcrumbs, onion, seasoning, and spices. Mix until everything is evenly combined and holds together when pressed.
Step 3: Shape the Patties
Scoop portions of the mixture and form small, flat patties using your hands. Press them gently so they don’t fall apart while cooking.
Step 4: Cook the Patties
-
Pan-fry method: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Baking method: Place patties on a lined baking tray, brush lightly with oil, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. The cheese will set and the patties will hold their shape perfectly.
