- 8 ounces chopped broccoli stems and florets
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 2 tablespoon almond flour or powdered pork rinds
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or your favorite cooking oil
Take your broccoli stems and/or florets and chop them into small pieces.
Steam your chunks lightly in the microwave or steamer, and lightly press them with a paper towel to remove any water.
In a small bowl, beat your two eggs until they are of one consistency.
Combine the flour of your choice with the cajun seasoning in a bowl. Stir or toss your steamed broccoli with the dry mixture until all the broccoli is thoroughly coated.
Add the beaten eggs and stir together.
Finally, add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir a final time.
Add your avocado (or other) oil and swirl to coat the whole bottom of the pan. You may need less oil depending on the size and kind of pan you are using.
Divide the broccoli mixture into fourths if making 4 large fritters. Otherwise you will be working with about 1.5 Tbsps of the fritter mix at a time.
Cook on the first side for about two to three minutes or until the patty begins to melt and the bottom is crusty brown.
Flip and repeat on the other side. The fritters are done when they are slightly brown and crispy all over.
