Finely chop your broccoli and steam or blanch in boiling water for 3–5 minutes until vibrant green and tender.

In a mixing bowl, combine cooled chopped broccoli, shredded cheese, and beaten eggs. Add breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper; mix well.

Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter, and place on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

For frying, heat oil in a skillet and cook patties in batches for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. For baking, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15–20 minutes.

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or garlic aioli.
