# What you'll need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 2 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped
02 - 1 small onion, finely diced
03 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
→ Dairy
04 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
→ Binding and Dry Ingredients
06 - 2 large eggs
07 - 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free optional)
08 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free optional)
→ Seasonings
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
12 - 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
→ For Frying
13 - 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil or neutral oil
# Method:
01 - Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add broccoli florets, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender. Drain and rinse with cold water, then finely chop.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli, onion, garlic, cheddar, Parmesan, eggs, breadcrumbs, flour, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano. Mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together when pressed.
03 - Shape the mixture into 8 to 10 patties, each approximately 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.
04 - Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry patties without overcrowding, cooking 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
05 - Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm, optionally with a creamy dipping sauce or yogurt.
