Broccoli Cheddar Fritters

Ingredients

• broccoli 12 ounces
• egg 2 large pieces
• cheddar cheese 1 cup
• wheat flour 0.5 cups
• garlic powder 0.5 teaspoons
• sweet paprika powder 0.5 teaspoons
• onion powder 0.25 teaspoons
• salt 0.25 teaspoons
• ground black pepper 0.25 teaspoons
• extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon

Tools

• saucepot
• mixing bowl
• fork
• non-stick skillet
• plate
• oven

Instructions

1. Add about 1 inch of water to a saucepot and bring it to a simmer. Fit a sieve over the pot, add the broccoli, cover, and steam until vivid green and fork-tender.
2. Add the steamed broccoli, eggs, cheddar cheese, flour, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into 6 large fritters, about 3 inches wide and 3/4 inch thick.
4. For pan-frying, heat enough oil to coat the bottom of a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fritters in batches and cook until golden brown on both sides, flipping once. Transfer to a plate to drain excess oil.
5. For baking, place the fritters on a lined sheet pan and bake at 175°C (350°F), flipping halfway through.
