Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh broccoli florets finely chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Using your hands or a spoon, form the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
