Here’s a simple, crispy broccoli cheese patty recipe—great as a snack, side, or veggie burger:
🥦🧀 Broccoli Cheese Patties
🧾 Ingredients:
- 2 cups broccoli (finely chopped or lightly steamed & mashed)
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (plus extra for coating)
- 1 egg (or 2–3 tbsp flour for eggless version)
- 2 tablespoons onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano or mixed herbs
- Oil for shallow frying
🔥 Instructions:
1. Prep broccoli
- Lightly steam or blanch broccoli, then chop finely
- Squeeze out excess moisture (important for crisp patties)
2. Make the mixture
- In a bowl, mix broccoli, cheese, breadcrumbs, egg (or flour), onion, garlic, and spices
- Combine until it holds together (add more crumbs if too wet)
3. Shape patties
- Form small round or oval patties
- Coat lightly in breadcrumbs for extra crunch
4. Cook
- Heat a little oil in a pan
- Shallow fry on medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy
5. Serve
- Serve hot with ketchup, garlic mayo, or yogurt dip
💡 Tips:
- Chill patties for 15 minutes before frying if they feel soft
- Add grated carrot or mashed potato for variation
- For a healthier option, bake at 200°C for 20–25 minutes or air-fry
