Amys Cheezy Broccoli Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Place broccoli in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover. Cover, and bring to a boil. Cook 5 minutes. Uncover, and continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes, until tender. Remove from heat, drain, and cool.
• In a large bowl, mix broccoli, stuffing mix, Parmesan cheese, onion, eggs, margarine, pepper, and garlic salt. Cover, and chill in the refrigerator approximately 1 hour, until moisture has been absorbed.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Roll the chilled mixture into 1 inch balls, and arrange on a medium baking sheet.
• Bake 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned.

Steps:

• Squeeze the broccoli in paper towels to get as much of the water out as possible.
• Whisk the eggs lightly and stir together with the broccoli and cheese and enough flour to make the dough hold together.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or until stiff enough to roll into balls.
• Roll the mixture into balls using 1 tbsp of the mix. Roll each in the bread crumbs.
• Heat a large pan with enough oil to deep fry to 375 degrees.
• Drop a few balls in at a time, making sure they do not stick together or touch. Fry until golden brown.

Steps:

• Place the frozen broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on HIGH for 5-6 minutes; cool and squeeze out any excess moisture with hands, place in a large bowl.
• Add in stuffing mix, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, onion, beaten eggs, seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper and cayenne to taste (if using) mix until combined adjusting seasoned salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover and refrigerate for 4 or more hours or until all the moisture is absorbed and the mixture is completely cold.
• Shape into 1 or 1-1/2-inch balls, then place onto greased baking sheet.
• Set oven to 325.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes for 1-inch balls (bake a little longer for 1-1/2-inch balls) or until browned.
• If desired immediately sprinkle finely grated cheddar cheese on top.

Steps:

• Chop and boil the broccoli until soft. Strain.
• Add one egg, the onion, feta, salt and pepper, HALF the breadcrumbs and HALF the flour until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
• Scoop into balls and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Coat the cooled balls in the remaining egg, then the flour, then the breadcrumbs.
• Air fry for or bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
