These vegie-packed cheesy broccoli patties are bound with mashed cannellini beans for a texture that’s creamy and hearty. Think of the recipe as a template and adapt it to what you have on hand.
No beans? Try chickpeas. In place of broccoli, try cauliflower. And use whatever cheese you have in your fridge.
