Form Patties: Take a small handful of the broccoli mixture and shape it into a patty using your hands. Ensure the patty holds together well. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form additional patties.
Step 3: Cook the Patties
Heat Oil: Heat a small amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry Patties: Place the patties in the skillet, leaving some space between them. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4: Drain Excess Oil
Drain Patties: Once cooked, transfer the broccoli cheese patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve: Serve the patties warm as a delicious appetizer, side dish, or even as a vegetarian burger alternative. Enjoy your tasty broccoli cheese patties!
Valuable Tips for Seamless Cooking
Helpful Tip: Ensure Even Mixing
Make sure the broccoli is finely chopped and well combined with the other ingredients to ensure the patties hold together and cook evenly.
Helpful Tip: Preheat the Oil
Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the patties to achieve a crispy exterior without absorbing too much oil.
Helpful Tip: Use a Non-Stick Skillet
A non-stick skillet will help prevent the patties from sticking and make flipping them easier.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Storage:
Refrigerate: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freeze: For longer storage, place the patties on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
Reheating:
Oven: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
Skillet: Reheat in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until warmed through and crispy.
Microwave: For a quick option, reheat individual patties in the microwave on medium power, though they may lose some crispiness.
