Broccoli croquettes are delicious vegetarian bites with a melty center and made without eggs. I made these croquettes with boiled broccoli, breadcrumbs, and pecorino cheese; inside I added some smoked provola cheese, and finally, I coated the croquettes in breadcrumbs, to which I added pizza-flavored crackers. I baked them in the oven to get very tasty croquettes that everyone will love, even those who don’t particularly like broccoli.

Steps

To make the broccoli croquettes, wash and clean the broccoli, then cook them in plenty of boiling water and once ready, drain them and let them cool slightly.
Place the broccoli in a bowl and mash them with a fork. Then add the pecorino, breadcrumbs, and a pinch of salt.
Mix with a fork until you get a soft mixture that you can work with your hands.
Cut the provola into cubes. With your hands, take some mixture, flatten it, and place 2 cubes of mozzarella in the center. Then, again with your hands, form the croquettes giving them a round and flattened shape.
On a plate, pour some breadcrumbs and add the crumbled pizza crackers.
Coat the croquettes in the breadcrumbs and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the croquettes with a little extra virgin olive oil and bake them in a preheated oven at 392°F until golden, about 15/20 minutes.
