Ingredients
- 400g broccoli florets
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 100g cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 egg
- 100g breadcrumbs
- Salt
- Pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for the mixture
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut the broccoli into florets, wash them thoroughly, and place them in a pot. Cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and boil until tender.
- Once cooked, drain the broccoli, let it cool slightly, and finely chop it into a bowl.
- Add the onion, garlic, egg, cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, olive oil, and breadcrumbs to the bowl. Mix everything well until combined.
