Begin by chopping a head of fresh broccoli into small florets. Steam the broccoli for about 5-7 minutes or until tender.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled, chopped broccoli with shredded cheese, two beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Mix thoroughly for about 2-3 minutes.

Shape the broccoli mixture into uniformly sized patties, roughly 1 inch thick.

For frying, heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. For baking, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and arrange on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Remove the patties from the skillet or oven, allow to cool for a minute, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
