# Directions:
01 - Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until just tender. Drain and rinse with cold water, then finely chop.
02 - In a large bowl, mix chopped broccoli, onion, garlic, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, eggs, breadcrumbs, flour, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano until well incorporated and mixture holds together when pressed.
03 - Shape the mixture into 8 to 10 patties, each approximately 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
04 - Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook patties without overcrowding for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
05 - Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm, optionally accompanied by a creamy dip or yogurt.
