These broccoli fritters are crisp outside, tender inside and full of melted cheese. Tender broccoli bound with egg, garlic and a little flour, pan-fried until golden and irresistible. They make a quick lunch, snack or light dinner. If you love broccoli, try our Broccoli Crust Pizza and Creamy Broccoli Soup.

Ingredients

• 350 g (3 cups) broccoli florets
• 2 medium eggs
• 50 g (1/2 cup) grated cheese
• 3-4 tbsp flour (any kind)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Boil the broccoli for 4 minutes, drain, and chop into small pieces.
2. Grate the cheese finely and add to the broccoli.
3. Add the eggs, garlic, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. Shape small fritters (a ring mold helps) and pan-fry in a little oil over medium heat until golden on both sides.

Tips

• Drain the broccoli very well, so the mixture stays thick and the fritters hold their shape.
• Keep the heat at medium and do not crowd the pan, so the fritters turn crisp and golden instead of steaming.
