Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 10 oz broccoli florets rinsed and dried
  • 2 eggs
  • 0.75 cup Greek yogurt
  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 5 tbsp potato starch or corn starch
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large clove garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh chopped dill
  • 0.5 heaping cup shredded cheddar
  • 1 tsp black sesame seeds optional topping

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350℉. Line an 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Pulse your broccoli florets for a few seconds in a mini food processor until finely chopped. Transfer them to a large bowl. Add in the eggs, yogurt, and oil and stir to combine. Next, add in the starch, baking powder, salt and pepper to taste, garlic, dill, and cheese and mix to combine. Transfer the batter to your pan and spread out evenly. Tap the pan on your counter 5 times to remove any bubbles. Top with sesame seeds and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and edges are turning golden brown. Allow to set in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely prior to slicing.
