servingsIngredients
2 large heads of broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese, refrigerated
3 eggs
1 tbsp. milk
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Combine eggs with milk in a medium size bowl.
- Mix together Italian bread crumbs, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Toss to combine.
- Dip broccoli piece, one at a time, in egg mixture, and then dip in cheese and bread crumb mixture until completely covered.
- Place coated broccoli florets onto lined baking sheet, and bake for 18-25 minutes.
- Serve immediately with a favorite dipping sauce, if desired!
Notes
- Be sure to use fresh grated parmesan, not shredded. The finer the parmesan, the better it sticks to the broccoli (don’t use the parmesan cheese that is not refrigerated in the pasta aisle).
- I cut the broccoli so that I’m using mostly the florets, with just enough of the stem to easily pick them up.
- To make them spicy, add a little cayenne pepper to the bread crumb mixture.
