Broccoli Cheese Patties - Low Carb Vegetarian Recipes

Whenever I find myself craving comfort food but still wanting to keep things on the lighter side, these broccoli cheese patties step up like an old friend who knows exactly what you need. They’re warm, cheesy, and crisp around the edges, while the inside stays soft with bits of tender broccoli. They remind me of family dinners when we’d all fight over who got the last cheesy bite. I like to think of these as the bridge between healthy eating and those moments when you just need something golden, savory, and completely satisfying. I’ll admit, I’ve made them more than once just so I could stack them up like pancakes and snack my way through a movie night. They’re also a clever way to sneak veggies into a picky eater’s plate—though honestly, no one has to know the secret ingredient is broccoli. What I love most is how versatile they are. You can serve them as a side dish, a meatless main, or even tuck them into a sandwich. They hit the sweet spot for anyone who’s searching for Low Carb Recipes, recipes low carb, Low carb recipes, broccoli and cheese recipes, low carb recipes easy, or Easy Low Carb Recipes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets, finely chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Steam or lightly boil the broccoli florets until tender, then drain well and chop finely.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the chopped broccoli with cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs (or almond flour), eggs, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Shape the mixture into small patties, pressing them together firmly so they hold their shape.
