Cheesy Broccoli Bites

Cheesy Broccoli Bites is a side dish / finger food of deep-fried breaded mixture of broccoli florets, cheese and eggs.

This thing is so cheesy you will forget there is broccoli on this one. Cheesy Broccoli Bites is an excellent finger food or side dish, it’s so addictive and easy to eat even the pickiest eater and non-veg lovers will easily fall in love with this. It’s so easy to prepare you just need cheese, broccoli, egg, breadcrumbs and flour, mix them all together and deep fry it. I guess any vegetable can be used on this recipe too, like cauliflower, carrots, Brussel sprouts or even mix and match them, what do you think?
