And then they ate them…all.

Broccoli Cheese Puffs from Scratch

I woke up on Super Bowl Sunday thinking about broccoli cheese puffs. I had cooked a head of broccoli the night before and had leftovers. Thought it would be fun to start the day with some canapés! These are so easy you can actually make them for a party and it’s no big deal. They’ll be gone in a flash.
