Broccoli Cheese Patties Recipe

 Prep the Broccoli: Ensure the broccoli is fully defrosted. Drain any excess water and chop into small pieces. Optionally, pulse the broccoli in a food processor for a finer texture.
 Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and onion, sautéing until onions are translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Let cool.
 Mix Patty Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, breadcrumbs, sharp cheddar, parmesan, and the cooled garlic-onion mixture. Stir in beaten eggs, salt, and pepper. Adjust consistency with breadcrumbs if too moist.
 Form Patties: Shape the mixture into patties, aiming for 8-12 depending on your preferred size.
 Cook Patties: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, heat vegetable oil. Fry patties in batches, about 4-5 minutes per side, until each is golden brown and crispy.
 Serve: Enjoy these warm, with dipping sauce or alongside your main dish.
