I have the fussiest eaters, but they love these veggie-filled patties! Delicious, healthy veggie patties stuffed with so much cheese that you can easily and quickly make. If you are searching for a healthy side dish option that your entire family will enjoy, then these baked cheese broccoli patties are a must-try!
INGREDIENTS :
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ onion, finely chopped
- 16 oz. broccoli, fresh
- ¾ c. bread crumbs
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/3 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt
- ½ c. Cheddar cheese, shredded
- Pepper
- 1 ½ tbsp avocado oil
DIRECTIONS :
Step 1: In a small skillet, heat the oil. Then, add the onion and garlic. Cook for about 7 minutes or until tender. Remove the onion and garlic from the skillet when done and set aside.
Step 2: Blanch the fresh broccoli for approximately 2 minutes. Into small pieces, chop the broccoli and place into a large bowl.
Step 3: To the bowl with the chopped broccoli, add the breadcrumbs, lightly beaten eggs, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, onion, and garlic. To taste, season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
Step 4: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F. Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet. Into patties, shape the mixture. Using plastic wrap, cover the lid and fill it with the mixture, lightly pressing it. Flip the patty out and do the same with the remaining mixture.
Step 5: To the prepared baking sheet, transfer the patties. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. Flip the patties and continue baking for 10 minutes more.
Step 6: Serve the baked cheese broccoli patties right away. Enjoy!
Tips:
- To shape the perfect patties, I recommend using a lid.
- To help remove the patty easily, cover the lid with plastic wrap.
- To make the eggs firmer, add an extra egg. Do this if you notice that the egg easily falls apart.
