Calories 220kcal
Ingredients
- 8 ounces broccoli (cut into small pieces or chopped)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs (cut into small pieces or chopped)
- 2 tablespoons oats (cut into small pieces or chopped)
- 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil (cut into small pieces or chopped)
Instructions
- Preparation: Cut fresh broccoli crowns and stems into 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch pieces.
- Steam lightly in the microwave or in a steamer.
- Drain any excess water and dry with paper towels if wet.
- (If using leftover broccoli, drain well and chop into small bite-sized pieces.)
- Method: Toss or stir the broccoli with your flour of choice and the Cajun seasoning to coat.
- Add the egg and stir.
- Add the cheddar cheese and stir until thoroughly combined.
- Cook: Place a cast iron or non-stick pan over medium heat until hot.
- Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- A non stick pan needs less oil.
- Visually divide the mixture into fourths and spoon into the pan, arranging in a low mound or patty.
- Scrape any tumbled pieces back into the piles.
- Cook on one side until the cheese on the top of the patty begins to melt and the bottom is crusty brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and cook on the other side until browned.
- Makes 4 large patties, 2.8 NC each.
- Serve topped with an egg or with a dipping sauce.
- Recipe Notes [NOTE] Use a 1/4 cup measure for smaller broccoli fritters.
- I was able to get 9 fritters which made a nice afternoon snack for my family.
- SAUCE: I Googled "remoulade sauce" and found many easy tasty recipes available.
