Ingredients

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

4 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup almond flour (or coconut flour if you prefer)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

2 large eggs

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for frying or drizzling

Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking, or heat oil in a pan over medium heat if frying.
  2. Wash and finely chop the broccoli florets.
  3. Steam the broccoli for about 5 minutes, then drain and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, combine the steamed broccoli, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Add the almond flour to the mixture and mix until the ingredients hold together.
  6. Stir in the eggs until the mixture is fully combined.
  7. Shape the mixture into small round patties, about 1–2 inches wide.
  8. If baking, place the patties on a lined baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and optionally sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  9. If frying, heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the patties for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  10. If frying, place the patties on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  11. Serve the broccoli cheese rounds warm and crispy, with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, swap cheddar for mozzarella or feta cheese.
  • Use coconut flour instead of almond flour for a sweeter taste.
  • Spice them up by adding cayenne pepper or chili flakes for an extra kick.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or use a frying pan to restore crispiness.
