Instructions

1

Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking during baking.

2

Make the Mixture

Combine the finely chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl. Crack in the eggs and mix everything together until a sticky uniform mixture forms.

3

Shape and Arrange

Scoop about one tablespoon of mixture at a time and press firmly into small oval or round patties about half an inch thick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet with a little space between each one.

Common mistakes
