Main ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped broccoli fresh or frozen, but fresh gets you that nice crunch
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese sharp cheddar works best
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs plain or seasoned
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese adds a great salty bite
  • 1 egg helps everything stick together

  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • non-stick spray or oil for greasing your baking sheet
  • broth or water for the pressure cooker’s base, about a cup

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, that’s about 200 degrees Celsius. Grease a baking sheet with a little oil or non-stick spray so your patties slide right off later.
  • In a big bowl, toss together your chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix it up good till it’s all combined equally.
  • Shape this mix into patties – round and kinda flat. You should get maybe 8 medium patties out of it. Place them on your oiled baking sheet with a bit of space in between.
  • Now, it’s your pressure cooker time. Pour about a cup of broth or water into the cooker. Place a trivet or steaming rack inside. You’re gonna steam these patties under pressure to get that perfect texture.
  • Carefully arrange the patties on the trivet or in a steaming basket placed over the liquid. Lock your lid on in place, make sure the sealing ring is seated properly so no steam escapes, then set for 5 minutes on high pressure.
  • When cooking’s done, let the pressure release naturally for about 5 minutes. Then slow release any remaining steam carefully until the valve hiss stops. Finish by sliding your patties back on the baking sheet for a quick 10 minute bake to get that crisp golden finish.

Notes

Serve freshly baked with a side salad or dipping sauce of choice. Wrap leftovers in foil to maintain moisture.
