These are super popular in the local restaurants in my neighborhood. I have friends who buy them frozen and bring them on vacation or cook them up at home. This easy homemade version mirrors those broccoli burgers. I serve mine with a runny egg, but they are delicious with or without it.
2 tablespoons Gefen Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
14 ounces Beleaves Frozen Broccoli Florets
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup Gefen Bread Crumbs or panko
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 egg
1 and 1/2 teaspoons Haddar Kosher Salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
runny eggs
buns
salad of your choice
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about four minutes. Add garlic and cook one more minute.
Add broccoli and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 10 minutes. If broccoli gets too dry, add one to two tablespoons water to prevent burning.
Turn off heat and coarsely mash the broccoli mixture.
Add flour, bread crumbs, nutritional yeast, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix together gently.
Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to overnight (the mixture will become too wet if it sits for longer).
Divide into four portions and shape into patties.
In a cast-iron or regular skillet, heat canola oil over medium heat. Cook burgers until lightly browned, about three minutes.
Flip and cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil. Cook until browned on the second side, about three minutes more.
To serve, place a burger on a bun and top with a runny egg or serve on top of the salad of your choice.

What can you substitute for the nutritional yeast? Is it necessary?
Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy and savory flavor, but it’s not essential. You can substitute with Tuscanini Parm a little soy sauce, or just leave it out!
