Baked Broccoli Cheese Balls

Baked Broccoli Cheese Balls are a delightfully savory snack that’s filled with tender broccoli and gooey cheese. They’re not heavy or overly greasy either. I think they’re a perfect appetizer for any gathering, and if you’re not a broccoli fan, feel free to substitute with your favorite veggie. They will still be undeniably delicious!
