8 fritters
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
These broccoli feta fritters are crisp on the outside with a soft center, made using finely chopped steamed broccoli and crumbled feta cheese. They cook quickly in a skillet and work well as a light lunch, simple side dish, or make ahead option.

Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons
Large nonstick skillet
spatula
Paper towels

Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups finely chopped steamed broccoli fully cooled and excess moisture squeezed out
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for frying
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the chopped broccoli, feta cheese, eggs, flour, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to a mixing bowl.
  • Stir until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and hold together when pressed.

  • If the mixture feels loose, let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes or mix in 1 tablespoon flour.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the olive oil.
  • Use a ¼ cup measure to portion the mixture and gently shape into patties.
  • Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

  • Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and repeat with the remaining mixture.

Notes

  • Squeezing excess moisture from the broccoli is important so the fritters hold together.
  • Avoid adding extra salt before tasting since feta is naturally salty.
  • Cook over steady medium-low heat until the centers set without over-browning.
