1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

1 cup grated mozzarella

½ teaspoon pink peppercorns

2¼ cups Panko breadcrumbs

3 eggs

½ cup all-purpose flour

Cooking Mode

  1. Start by boiling the broccoli. Let it cool, then chop it finely.
  2. In a bowl, place the broccoli and add the cheeses, pepper, ¼ cup of panko breadcrumbs, and one beaten egg. Mix well.
  3. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about one tablespoon each. You should get 12 balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, beat two eggs and mix in a spoonful of water. And in a third bowl, place the remaining Panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a pan to fry the balls.
  6. Remove the balls from the refrigerator, then begin breading them. First, coat them in all-purpose flour, then dip them in the egg mixture, and finally coat them in panko breadcrumbs.
  7. Fry 4 balls at a time, cooking until they’re golden brown.
