Savory bites with tender broccoli and melted cheese, perfect for low-carb snacking or parties.

# Needed Ingredients:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 cups finely chopped broccoli florets (about 1 small head)
02 - 1 small onion, finely diced

→ Dairy

03 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 1/4 cup softened cream cheese

→ Eggs

06 - 2 large eggs

→ Pantry

07 - 1/3 cup almond flour
08 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
02 - Steam or microwave the chopped broccoli until just tender, approximately 2–3 minutes. Drain thoroughly and allow to cool slightly.
03 - In a large bowl, blend together broccoli, diced onion, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, and softened cream cheese until evenly distributed.
04 - Add eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well until a sticky batter forms.
05 - Using a tablespoon, scoop portions and form into balls or fill each mini muffin cup completely.
06 - Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until bites are golden brown and firm to the touch.
07 - Allow bites to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • They disappear in seconds at parties, and nobody suspects they're actually good for you.
  • Prep takes barely fifteen minutes, and your oven does the heavy lifting while you relax.
  • Naturally low-carb and gluten-free without any weird substitutes or compromises on taste.
02 -
  • Draining the broccoli thoroughly is non-negotiable—excess water makes mushy bites instead of crispy ones.
  • Don't overbake them or the edges get hard; pull them out when the centers are just set and still slightly tender.
03 -
  • Finely chopping your broccoli is worth the extra thirty seconds—it creates a better texture and helps everything bind together.
  • Softening your cream cheese at room temperature for ten minutes makes mixing infinitely easier and prevents lumps.
