Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
• 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped broccoli
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups dry bread crumbs
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup margarine, softened

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook broccoli according to package directions. Drain, and cool.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, onion, parsley, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir in the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, margarine and milk. Mix in the broccoli last. Let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes. It should thicken, but if not, add a little more bread crumbs. Roll the mixture into small balls, and arrange on a greased baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm and lightly toasted.
