Instructions:

1. Prepare the Broccoli:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Steam or boil the florets in a pot of salted water for 4-5 minutes, or until tender but still bright green.
3. Drain the broccoli thoroughly and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, chop the broccoli into small pieces or pulse in a food processor to break it down into finer bits. Make sure to drain any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

2. Make the Fritter Mixture:

1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and almond flour.
2. Add the chopped broccoli, diced onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
3. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the broccoli mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined and the mixture holds together.

3. Form the Fritters:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
2. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing them down slightly to form small patties.

4. Bake the Fritters:

1. Brush the tops of the fritters lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
3. If you like them extra crispy, you can turn on the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes, but keep a close eye to avoid burning.

5. Serve:

1. Allow the fritters to cool slightly before serving. They are delicious warm or at room temperature.
2. Enjoy them as a snack, a side dish, or even as a topping for salads!

These Cheesy Baked Broccoli Fritters are a great way to sneak in some vegetables while keeping your keto diet on track. They’re crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor—perfect for a quick and satisfying meal!
