How to Make Cheesy Broccoli Patties

ADVERTISEMENT

  • Mix It Up: Combine broccoli with cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, and seasonings in a bowl.
  • Form Patties: Shape the mixture into small, even-sized patties.
  • Cook: Pan-fry in a little oil until golden brown on both sides or bake for a lighter option.
  • Serve & Enjoy: These patties are great on their own, dipped in ranch or your favorite sauce, or served alongside a salad or soup.
  • Tips for Perfect Patties

    • Drain well: Make sure your broccoli isn’t watery—squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel to avoid soggy patties.
    • Use fresh breadcrumbs: They absorb moisture better and add better texture.
    • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Give each patty room to get crispy.
    • Experiment with cheese: Sharp cheddar adds bold flavor, while mozzarella offers melty stretchiness.

    Serving Suggestions

    • As an appetizer with dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or spicy mayo
    • Alongside grilled chicken or fish for a balanced meal
    • On a bun with your favorite sandwich toppings for a vegetarian option
    • Paired with a fresh green salad for a light lunch
