@amber_recipes: Baked Broccoli Cheese Balls Ingredients 2 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped and steamed 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular) 2 eggs, beaten 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 tbsp olive oil spray (for baking sheet) Instructions Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Steam the broccoli until tender and vibrant green. Chop finely or pulse in a food processor until evenly sized. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar, breadcrumbs, eggs, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the mixture holds its shape—add more breadcrumbs if too wet. Form the mixture into small balls using about 1 tablespoon per ball. Place them on the lined baking sheet with space between each ball. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil. Bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp on the outside with melted cheese showing. Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite dip like marinara, spicy mayo, or ranch. Notes For a spicy twist, add chili flakes or diced jalapeños. Make them gluten-free with GF breadcrumbs and flour. You can also freeze them before baking for meal prep or reheat leftovers in an air fryer to restore crispiness. Don’t skip patting the broccoli dry—moisture affects texture.
