Ingredients
- 1 large broccoli head
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 spring onion
- Black pepper to taste
- oil to grease the baking tray
Instructions
- Break the broccoli head into florets, add them to a pan of boiling water, cover with a lid and leave to cook for 5-7 minutes until tender.
- Chop the broccoli finely, you should get about 2 cups of chopped broccoli. Leave to cool.
- Add the broccoli to a bowl, add the cheese, chopped spring onion, breadcrumbs, egg and black pepper, and mix everything well.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- Grease a baking tray with vegetable oil, then shape small balls out of the broccoli mixture, I ended up with 13 balls, but depending on the size, you might get more or less.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly golden brown, turning them on the other side half the way through baking.
- Serve warm or cold.
