How to Make Amy S Cheezy Broccoli Balls

1. Steam or microwave 1 large head of broccoli until tender-crisp. Let cool slightly, then finely chop.
2. Squeeze the chopped broccoli in paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs lightly.
4. Add the broccoli, 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, and ½ cup all-purpose flour. Stir until a dough forms that is just moist enough to hold together. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls.
6. Roll the mixture into 1-tablespoon sized balls.
7. In a shallow dish, place 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs. Roll each ball in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
8. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
9. Carefully drop a few broccoli balls into the hot oil, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
10. Remove the cooked balls with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
