Description
Baked Cheese & Broccoli Patties are a delicious and healthy snack made with broccoli, cheese, and spices, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 340 g frozen broccoli, thawed and well drained
- ¾ cup (75 g) panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup (50 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ⅓ cup (30 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ small onion — about 60 g, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons (10 mL) olive oil
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 mL) salt
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 mL) black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 mL) garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon (1.25 mL) paprika or Old Bay seasoning, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Prepare the broccoli: Thaw the broccoli completely. Place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Finely chop the broccoli.
- Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened. Let cool slightly.
- Make the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, sautéed onion and garlic, panko, cheddar, Parmesan, eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until well combined and firm enough to shape.
- Shape the patties: Divide the mixture into about 8 portions. Form each into a patty about 1–1.5 cm thick and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 15 minutes. Carefully flip each patty and bake for another 12–15 minutes, until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Let the patties cool for 2–3 minutes, then serve warm with ranch, sour cream, garlic aioli, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- If the mixture feels too wet or crumbly, adjust with a little extra panko.
- Properly drained broccoli is the biggest factor in getting patties that hold together.
