Fridays with Julie - Broccoli Cakes


These things may look weird, but they are delicious.  Often at the dinner table, I ask my husband if a new recipe is "a keeper."  Not this time.  I didn't need too.  He was devouring these broccoli cakes.  He even packed four in his lunch the next day and then told me that the next pot luck supper we went to that we should take these.  All that said - you've gotta try these easy yet delicious broccoli cakes.


Broccoli Cakes (or bites)

Ingredients:
  • 16 oz. package of frozen broccoli
  • 1 1/2 cup of grated cheese (I used Monterey Jack - just use what you have on hand)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup of seasoned Italian breadcrumbs


Instructions:
  1. Cook broccoli in microwave or on stove and drain water.
  2. Chop or use food processor to make the pieces of broccoli smaller - I just pulsed the food processor 5-6 times.
  3. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
  4. With your hands, form small patties and lay on a parchment lined or greased baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 375F for 25 minutes, turning the patties after the first 15 minutes.

  2. Not sure I would try them on looks alone, but with your husband's response they sound like one I need to try.

  4. You can take these same bites and deep fry on 300 for 3 minutes and they are even better. Not as healthy but wonderful all the same
