Dairy
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Miscellaneous
- 2 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the broccoli: Finely chop the fresh broccoli florets into small, uniform pieces to ensure they bind well with the other ingredients and cook evenly.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and eggs. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir until a sticky, cohesive mixture forms.
- Form rounds: Scoop small portions of the mixture and shape them into flat, round discs, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

- Cool and serve: Remove the rounds from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm as a low-carb snack or appetizer.

- Serve with a side of sour cream or a low-carb dipping sauce for extra flavor.
- Make sure to chop the broccoli finely to help the mixture hold together better.
- These rounds can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days and reheated before serving.
