Baked Broccoli Cheese Balls

You'll be surprised how much broccoli is crammed into these! They certainly don't taste healthy - but they are. They are juicy and moist inside, golden on the outside, they stay pretty round after baking, and are gorgeous to serve as a vegetarian main or as bites! Serves 3 - 4 as a main. Recipe video below and Gluten Free option in notes.

Ingredients

2 cups (packed) roughly chopped soft cooked broccoli (well drained) ((~400g/14 oz raw broccoli) (Note 1))

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 large eggs ((~55g/2oz each in-shell))

3/4 cup shredded cheese ((Cheddar, Colby or Tasty cheese are my usual))

2 green onion stems (, finely sliced)

2 cloves garlic (, finely minced)

1/4 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt ((halve for table salt, + 50% for flakes))

Black pepper

Olive oil spray

1 batch Lemon Yogurt Sauce ((or plain yogurt))

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F (180°C fan forced). Line a tray with baking / parchment paper. (Note 2)
Step 2
Mixture - Place all ingredients (except oil spray) in a bowl. Mix well to combine, mashing up the broccoli as you go (like when you are cooking mince).
Step 3
Form balls - Scoop up a heaped tablespoon, then press in firmly. Flick out into your hand then form into a ball. Place on tray. Repeat with remaining mixture - should make 15 - 18 balls.
Step 4
Spray and bake - Spray with oil then bake for 25 minutes, or until the surface is slightly crisp and golden.
Step 5
Serve with Lemon Yoghurt Sauce – it also goes great with ketchup!
