Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Using your hands, form the mixture into small rounds or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rounds are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Let the broccoli cheese rounds cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve warm as a snack or appetizer. They can also be enjoyed with a dipping sauce like ranch or marinara!
