Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Broccoli: Finely chop the fresh broccoli florets into small pieces to ensure the rounds hold together well and have an even texture.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully blended.
- Form Rounds: Using your hands or a spoon, form the mixture into small, evenly sized rounds or patties to ensure uniform baking.

- Serve: Allow the rounds to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.

- You can substitute cheddar cheese with other types like mozzarella or gouda depending on preference.
- For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or herbs like parsley to the mixture.
- These rounds can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
