I normally dislike steamed or cooked vegetables. I guess it’s a texture thing. I would rather eat my vegetables raw and enjoy the crunchy sound they make. But today I wanted to be a bit more adventurous and make a new vegetable to enjoy.
Broccoli should be added to everyone’s diets. It is a good source for many vitamins and minerals including: Vitamin C, Vitamin K, iron, protein, iron and potassium. You can eat the broccoli raw or lightly steam it to preserve most of it’s nutritional value.)
In every recipe I post of mine, I remind people that I am not a professional chef … I’m just a mom of 3 who likes to throw things together in a bowl and hope for the best when I bake or cook it! So that being said, enjoy this new recipe!

2 cups of finely chopped broccoli (steamed
2 eggs

1 tbsp olive oil
salt
pepper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Steam your broccoli for 5- 8 minutes
- In a saucepan, add oil and saute onion and garlic
- Mix broccoli, sauted onion and garlic, eggs, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and cheese
- Mix everything together
- Scoop mixture with a table spoon onto a greased cookie sheet or parchment paper and form into circles. Don’t need to be perfect here!
