Broccoli Cheddar Fritters

In a saucepan over medium high heat add broccoli and water. Let steam for 5 minutes, or until slightly tender.

Drain the broccoli and let cool in a medium mixing bowl.

Once cool add cheddar cheese, egg, flour, minced garlic, salt and pepper to a bowl and mix until the mixture has a semi-creamy texture.

Place a large pan over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil.

Use a spoon to scoop out medium dollops of mixture and place it in the pan. Let cook on each side for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from pan and place on paper towel to absorb excess oil.

Enjoy!
