A delicious way to sneak in some veggies! 😋✨
Ingredients:
2 cups broccoli florets, steamed and finely chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
4 slices of melting cheese (such as cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda), cut into small squares
Olive oil for frying
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Take a small portion of the mixture and flatten it into a patty in the palm of your hand.
Place a square of melting cheese in the center of the patty, then fold the edges of the patty around the cheese to enclose it completely. Shape it into a round patty, making sure the cheese is sealed inside.
Repeat with the remaining mixture and cheese squares until all the patties are formed.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the broccoli cheese patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
