I tried it! My balls didn't hold together very well, so next time I'll make more of the batter. They taste great though. I used smoked gouda, parmesan, and almond meal instead of flour. I also put some pepper in. The cheese is salty enough that they did not need additional salt. I'm garnishing with Srirachi chili sauce. :)

Have you ever tried to freeze these for later and then reheat and serve?

These are great! I add a little more cheese because everything is better with cheese! It didn't make 30 balls for me with them being golf ball sized, but next time I'll make them a little smaller. GREAT RECIPE!

Broccoli is my absolute favorite vegie, we have it at least 4 times a week! I plan to make these tonight. I will be using Panko with a bunch of yummy seasonings. Panko is perfect for low sodium people and makes EVERYTHING so much crunchier!
