Directions
1. Steam or boil broccoli florets, drain and transfer to a cutting board. Using a large, sharp knife, cut into very small pieces.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped steamed broccoli, eggs, Parmesan, mozzarella, flour, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mash and stir until well combined.
3. Place a cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Scoop out 2 to 3 tablespoon mounds of the broccoli mixture into the pan, flattening the mounds slightly with a spatula and spacing them about one inch apart.
4. Cook the broccoli fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, flip and cook on the other side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm with marinara sauce, or yogurt, or sour cream. Enjoy!
