Ingredients

  • 1 small head broccoli
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 cup (60 g) grated cheddar cheese
  • 4 Tbsp plain white flour
  • 2 Tbsps olive oil

Instructions 

  • First, loosely chop and steam your broccoli for a few minutes until it is soft but still a little bit al dente. You could go further and get them extra soft if making for a very young baby.
  • On a chopping board, cut the cooked broccoli into very small pieces.
  • Place in a bowl and add the egg white. Using a spoon, mix the egg white through the broccoli mix as much as you can. Add the flour and cheese, and continue to mix together. Use the spoon to smoosh it all together- it will start to stick together and form a batter, although it should be a very chunky one that holds together, but only just.
  • Heat some olive oil in a pan- enough to cover the bottom, but no more. When it is hot enough that a tiny piece of batter will sizzle, drop in the fritter dough in 4 lumps. After a couple of minutes, flip with a spatula and cook on the other side. Cook until both sides are nicely browned.
  • Remove from the oil and let sit on some paper towel for a few minutes to soak up the grease, before serving with a sauce or dip of your choosing.
