Parmesan Broccoli Balls

Recipe View Pre-cook the Broccoli: Place thawed broccoli in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Drain thoroughly and allow to cool slightly. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked broccoli, stuffing mix, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, beaten eggs, melted butter, black pepper, and garlic salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours. This allows the stuffing mix to absorb moisture and helps the balls hold their shape. (Chill time: 60-120 minutes)

Recipe View Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Form the Balls: Using a spoon or your hands, roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each ball. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the balls are golden brown and firm to the touch. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking, if desired. (Bake time: 15-20 minutes)

Recipe View Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the Parmesan Broccoli Balls cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
