Broccoli Cheese Patties

INGREDIENTS

• 1 teaspoon butter
• 2 cloves garlic – minced
• 1/2 onion – chopped
• 1 (12 ounce) bag frozen broccoli – defrosted
• 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs – beaten
• salt and pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Saute the onions and garlic in the butter until translucent.
2. Put defrosted broccoli in a strainer for 30 minutes (longer if still frozen) in the sink. Blot well and put on a cutting board to chop the broccoli into smaller pieces.
3. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl. Add breadcrumbs, cheeses, salt and pepper. Mix well. Add broccoli and onion mixture. Mix well.
4. On a cookie sheet use the 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and grease the cookie sheet. Form patties, they are about 1/2 cup each. I used a large scoop.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes on one side and then turn them over. Bake another 15 minutes or until browned and crispy around the edges.
