Cut broccoli into floret pieces.
You are doing to need 3 bowls. In one you will have the flour mixture, which is the flour and spices. In a second bowl the whisked eggs and in the third bowl, the cheese.
Coat a piece of broccoli first with the flour mixture, then the egg wash and then the cheese.
Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and place the broccoli florets on it, leaving some space between the florets.
Bake in the oven on the middle rack for 20 minutes or until the cheese is nice and golden. Ovens vary so use your own judgement.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a minute or so before serving.
- Use a preheated oven.
- For the most melty cheese, shred your own! It's not essential but it will melt more evenly.
- Make sure to cut your florets into bite sized pieces.
- Bake your broccoli bites on the middle rack of the oven, for even baking.
- Oven can vary so check in on the doneness of your bites.
