Cheesy, crispy broccoli bites - perfect crowd-pleaser for any gathering!
Ingredients:
  • 5 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 (16 ounce) package chopped frozen broccoli, thawed and drained
  • 4 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 3.5 cups dry bread crumbs
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • Preheat oil in deep-fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a medium saucepan, add broccoli and 1 cup boiling water. Bring back to a boil, cover, and cook until broccoli is firm yet tender, approximately 5 minutes.
  • In a saucepan, gently melt the Cheddar cheese over low heat. Stir in the broccoli and let the mixture cool and thicken for about 15 minutes.
  • Combine bread crumbs, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl, then spread the mixture on a large sheet of wax paper.
  • Shape the broccoli cheese mixture into balls and coat thoroughly with the bread crumb mixture.
  • Fry the balls until they are beautifully golden for about 5 minutes, then let them drain on paper towels.
