Broccoli Bites

SUBMITTED BY: Kristen  PHOTO BY: cas-65 

"Delicious bits of broccoli are drenched in a cheese mixture and fried. When our local restaurant stopped serving their Broccoli Bites, we were devastated. So I tried to duplicate them at home one night. It was funny to note that soon after, they started carrying them again here."
