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.
