Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets (chopped)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  2. In a large bowl, combine the steamed broccoli and shredded cheese; mash until some texture remains.
  3. Add flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the mixture; stir until combined.
  4. Mix in the eggs until the batter is smooth; taste for seasoning.
