Start by steaming or boiling your broccoli until it is tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and chop it finely, allowing it to cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli with grated cheese, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Season with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices, stirring until well incorporated.

Shape the mixture into patties about 1/2-inch thick, ensuring they are packed tightly. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

Decide whether to fry or bake the patties. For frying, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, cooking each patty for 4-5 minutes per side. For baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), arrange on a baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes.

Let the patties cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
