Broccoli Feta Fritters
It’s all green to me with these broccoli recipes. I could eat these endlessly. This is one of my Original recipes I recreated and updated to share with my new friends on TikTok, etc. You can’t go wrong with this recipe. If you have some broccoli in your fridge, I urge you to create these! They’re great for breakfast, lunch, side dish, appetizer or snack time!
Ingredients:
Super basic ingredients in this one with gluten free substitutes too. For the all purpose flour you can sub in oat flour, almond flour or gluten free flour. It might need a tad bit more but mix it with the measurements below and you can always add in an extra tablespoon of flour if needed to bring the batter together.
The eggs are the main binder here and I’m not sure if the mixture would hold together with a substitute like flax eggs. If you don’t like feta, you can simply add in more mozzarella cheese. If you don’t like dill, sub in chives or basil. Serves perfect with some Tsatziki Sauce (although I enjoy them on their own).
The mixture might feel like it’s not coming together because of the broccoli chunks, but once you get it in the pan, it will converge and cook into a perfect fritter thanks to the cheese and eggs.

WOW! So delicious! I followed this easy recipe exactly, and it came out as beautiful little pillows fritters. I serve these fritters with my roasted Greek lemon chicken and the next day I serve the fritters on top of red leaf lettuce and arugula and a fried egg, my husband’s favorite. Thank you so much Stella for your yummy recipes. Looking forward to making more of your recipes. Happy New Year! Cheers
Hi Magaly and welcome! I’m so glad both you and your hubby enjoyed the fritters! Cheers and Happy and healthy 2025 to you too! Cheers!
Absolutely delicious! I can’t get enough of them.
Yummy in my tummy!! they looked and sounded so good they could only be improved on so added red onion, leek, green aspargus and bacon bits.
I followed the recipe exactly and the fritters came out perfectly. On a slightly unrelated note people should learn how to follow directions in a recipe and stop blabbering on about the annoying numerous ingredient substitutions that you see in every single recipe blog site comments section.
Hi Ken, I’m so glad you loved the fritters! Thank you for you coming back to rate the recipe too! I appreciate your support <3
Excellent recipe, great taste and easy to make. I baked the fritters in the oven to avoid using too much oil. They came out great. Thank you for another super recipe !
Trying to figure the calories;these look delicious, but……. You have 5kcal, and as I understand that, that would be 57,000 calories/????? Surely not; please let me know.
One Calorie (capital) = 1kcal this is why people should stay in school
I made this with a lot more broccoli and had to substitute the mozzarella cheese with a Mexican blend of cheeses as I didn’t have mozzarella on hand. I baked the fritter balls on parchment paper and they turned out fantastic. I made the lazy tatziki dip as well. Yummmm.
yummy… delicious and so easy. thank you
Could you provide 4 small crowns in cups. I had two medium sized and the recipe didn’t turn out like the photos. I can see the potential but I just had too much broccoli and it didn’t hold together.
Hi Stella,
This looks really good. I like to prepare food and freeze them. Is it possible for me to cook and freeze these? This way, my son can just get what he whenever needs one.
Thanks.
