My broccoli patties make a tasty swap for classic meat patties. Whether they're on a burger, as a quick side, or the main meal, their flavor keeps you coming back.

Fresh and flexible

Packed with fiber, minerals, and vitamins, they're perfect for anyone paying attention to what they eat. They come together fast and work great at home or on the go.

Here’s what you need

  • Cheese: 50 g grated gratin cheese, 30 g parmesan, some salt, pepper.
  • Base: 4-5 heaping tablespoons spelt flour, 300 g broccoli.
  • To hold it together: 2 eggs, 100 g low-fat quark.

Tasty made simple

Fry
Mold 7 patties, then cook each one for 3-4 minutes per side until golden.
Mix
Stir everything up so you get a sticky, even mix.
Begin

My go-to tricks

Frozen broccoli’s a real time saver. Press out all the water and fire up a hot pan for a crispy bite.

Serve however you like

Stick them in a burger bun, serve with quinoa or some rice. Pair them with dips like hummus or guacamole for snacking.

Meal prep made easy

Keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days or pop them in the freezer. Heat them up in a pan or oven and they'll keep their crunch.

A seriously good find

These little patties pack loads of goodness and taste great. Just right for anyone skipping meat but wanting real flavor.

Broccoli wins every time

This veggie is loaded—tons of vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. It keeps you healthy and you can use it in loads of ways.

Try switching it up

No spelt? Use oat flour. Don’t want quark? Go for plant yogurt. A dash of nutritional yeast and you’ve got a vegan version.

Kids go nuts for these

Use a mild cheese, add some colorful veggies, and make mini burgers. Healthy food just got fun.

Buffet perfect

Serve at a party or start your meal with them and a dip. Sprinkle on sesame or fresh herbs for a fancier feel.

Earth-friendly choice

Pick seasonal broccoli, waste less, and use up leftovers. Better for you and kinder to the planet.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Is it okay to use fresh broccoli?

Absolutely. Just blanch it real quick, chop it up, and really let it dry so your mix isn’t watery.

→ How should I keep these patties?

Pop them in the fridge for a couple days. If you want, freeze them and warm them up later.

→ What can I pair with these?

Throw them in a bun with greens, serve with potatoes, dip for a quick snack, or pack them cold for lunch.

→ Can I use other types of flour?

Yep. Wheat or whole wheat work and for gluten-free, go with chickpea flour.

→ Do they get firm enough?

For sure! Eggs, flour, and quark bind them well. Just make sure the broccoli isn’t soggy.
