Savory, bite-sized snacks with tender broccoli and melted cheese, ideal for low-carb diets or parties.

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped (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 cream cheese, softened

→ 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 black pepper

# How-To:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin lightly.
02 - Steam or microwave the chopped broccoli until just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain any excess liquid and let cool slightly.
03 - In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, diced onion, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, and softened cream cheese. Mix until evenly blended.
04 - Add the eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until a sticky batter develops.
05 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and shape them into balls, or spoon the mixture directly into the prepared mini muffin cups.
06 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the bites are golden brown and set.
07 - Allow the bites to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're genuinely delicious, not just nutritious—nobody will suspect these are low-carb.
  • Prep takes fifteen minutes, baking takes twenty-five, and they're gone in half that time.
  • Make a double batch and freeze them; they reheat perfectly in the toaster oven.
02 -
  • Drain your broccoli really well after steaming; excess moisture is the enemy of a properly textured bite.
  • If your mixture feels too wet, add another tablespoon or two of almond flour—every broccoli floret releases a little differently.
03 -
  • Use a small scoop or a tablespoon to make portions uniform so they cook at the same rate.
  • Don't skip the cooling time—it lets them set up properly and makes them easier to handle or freeze.
