- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour or breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheese, eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Heat the oil: Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Form the fritters: Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture and flatten them into small patties (about 2-3 inches wide).
- Fry until golden: Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and serve: Remove the fritters from the skillet and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Notes
Chop the broccoli finely to help the fritters hold together better and don’t overmix to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
