Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives, plus more for garnish

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

  • 2 cups chopped cooked broccoli

  • ½ cup shredded carrots

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. Combine eggs and mustard in a bowl; stir until well blended. Mix in Parmesan cheese, chives, garlic, salt, and pepper.

  2. Add chopped broccoli and shredded carrots; stir until ingredients are evenly mixed together.

  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  4. Divide vegetable mixture into 8 equal portions and shape into 3 inch patties. Add to the hot oil in the skillet and cook until brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, turn broccoli patties, and cook until brown, 3 to 4 more minutes.

  5. Place patties on a warm serving platter and garnish with additional fresh chives, if desired. Serve immediately.

Cook's Note:

You can make this dish lactose free by subbing an equal amount of nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
