→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 cups finely chopped fresh broccoli florets
02 -
1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
03 -
1/2 cup all purpose flour
04 -
2 large eggs
05 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
07 -
Salt and pepper to taste
08 -
1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
09 -
Olive oil for frying
# Directions:
01 -
Chop the fresh broccoli florets into small pieces. Steam lightly for 2-3 minutes if a softer texture is preferred.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheese, flour, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
03 -
Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and shape them into patties, approximately 2-3 inches in diameter.
04 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add just enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
05 -
Place a few fritters in the skillet without overcrowding. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
06 -
Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
07 -
Continue frying batches of fritters until all the mixture is used up. Add more oil to the skillet if needed. Serve warm, with or without a dipping sauce.
# Notes:
01 -
These fritters can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C for best results.
02 -
For a crispier texture, squeeze excess moisture from the broccoli before mixing with other ingredients.
