HOW TO MAKE BROCCOLI CHEESE BALLS

Broccoli Cheese Balls are an excellent option for a finger dish to serve at holiday gatherings or on game day. If you serve them as an after-school snack, your children will consider you the hippest parent in the history of parenting. I believe that these fried broccoli balls are, alongside Fried Mac & Cheese, the finest food that has ever been created for children.

The outside is made crispy with a Panko crumb coating, while the inside is loaded with three different types of cheese for a full-on cheesy flavor. The fresh broccoli has been chopped up into little pieces, and then covered in gooey, melted cheese.

You will fall head over heels in love with broccoli after trying these cheesy balls because they make broccoli look and taste so fantastic! This combination of broccoli and cheese produces an enticing appetizer that is crunchy on the exterior and lusciously satisfying on the inside!
