Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups vibrant broccoli florets, steamed and finely chopped
- 1 cup creamy shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup golden breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cloves aromatic garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of melting cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda), cut into small squares
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Combine the steamed broccoli, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until well incorporated.
- Shape a small handful of the mixture into a patty, placing a square of melting cheese in the center, and folding the edges over the cheese.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering, then add the patties without overcrowding.
- Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and serve hot.
Notes
Ensure to squeeze out excess moisture from the broccoli to avoid sogginess. Serve with garlic yogurt sauce or sweet chili sauce.
