Baked Broccoli Cheese Balls

These delicious and wholesome broccoli cheese balls are surprisingly easy to make. Simply blanch the broccoli, chop or blend it, mix it with the remaining ingredients, roll into balls, and bake. They are especially tasty when served warm with a dollop of sour cream, but they are just as enjoyable cold 

Ingredients

• 1 head of fresh broccoli (about 2 cups cooked and finely chopped)

• 2 eggs

• 1/3 cup grated marble cheese 

• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I used a mixture of regular breadcrumbs and panko)

• a few sprigs of parsley

• salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. Place the broccoli in boiling water for 2 minutes, then immediately rinse with cold water

2. Finely chop the broccoli and parsley, or pulse them in a food processor

3. Add the eggs, both cheeses, and the breadcrumbs

4. Season with salt and pepper and mix well

5. Roll the mixture into small balls

6. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

7. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes

8. After about 15 minutes, you can turn the balls over for more even browning

9. Serve with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce
