- Chop broccoli and mix with the egg, onions, grated cheese, breadcrumbs, and herbs.
- Scoop about 1 to 2 tablespoons of mix and gently press between your hands into a firm ball and place on your prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
- Bake until golden brown and crispy, 18-24 minutes, turning half way.
- ENJOY!!
