Ingredients:
- 2 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach or kale
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly greased foil.
- Steam broccoli: Steam broccoli florets until tender-crisp (about 3-5 minutes). Let them cool, then chop them up finely.
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped broccoli, breadcrumbs, cheddar, Parmesan, eggs, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed. Add optional ingredients if desired.
- Shape and bake: Shape the mixture into small balls, about an inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Optional additions:
- For extra flavor: Add spinach, kale, crumbled feta cheese, or red pepper flakes.
- For a richer texture: Use a combination of cheddar and Gruyère cheese.
- For a spicier kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
