Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh broccoli florets (steamed and chopped)

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.

      Add Broccoli and Bacon: Stir in the chopped, steamed broccoli and crumbled bacon into the cheese mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

        Form Rounds: Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and form small rounds (about the size of a tablespoon). Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

          Coat with Breadcrumbs: Lightly roll each round in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. This will give them a crunchy texture once baked.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rounds are golden brown and crispy.

              Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

                Serve Warm: Enjoy these delicious mini rounds warm as an appetizer or snack!
