Step 1: Cook and Chop Broccoli - Start by steaming or boiling broccoli florets for 5–7 minutes until tender. Drain well and allow them to cool. Once cool, chop into fine pieces to ensure a uniform texture in the mixture.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients - In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chopped broccoli, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, and optional Parmesan and parsley. Stir until the mixture holds together.
Step 3: Form Cheese Balls - Using a spoon or cookie scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press gently to ensure they hold their shape.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection - Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. Flip them halfway for even crisping if desired.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy - Let the cheese balls cool slightly before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm with a dipping sauce like ranch, marinara, or spicy mustard.
