To make broccoli cheese balls, follow these steps:

 

 

 

# Ingredients

– 2 cups broccoli florets, steamed and chopped
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 egg, beaten
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste

 

# Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Use your hands to shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. You should end up with around 20-25 balls.
4. Place the broccoli cheese balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each ball to allow for even cooking.
5. Bake the broccoli cheese balls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside.
6. Remove the broccoli cheese balls from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
7. Serve the broccoli cheese balls hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

# Tips
– To make the broccoli cheese balls extra crispy, you can try coating them in a little bit of extra breadcrumbs or grated cheese before baking.
– If you want to make the broccoli cheese balls ahead of time, you can shape the mixture into balls and refrigerate them for up to a day before baking.
– Experiment with different types of cheese or add some diced herbs to the mixture to give the broccoli cheese balls an extra boost of flavor.
