2 eggs, lightly beaten |
2 egg whites, lightly beaten |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
salsa, optional |
Directions:
1. Place broccoli in a steamer basket; place in a small saucepan over 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil; cover and steam for 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Coarsely chop broccoli and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, egg whites, cheese, flour, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Stir in broccoli.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by 2 heaping tablespoonfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten.
