Paniertes Brokkoli aus dem Ofen

Zutaten

• 1/2 head large broccoli (broken into large florets)
• 1/2 fresh lemon
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon fresh minced)
• 2 large eggs
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Pre-heat oven to 350° (180° celsius). Lightly grease a small to medium baking pan or cookie sheet.

2. 2

   In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water cook the broccoli until tender but firm (not mushy) (al dente)

3. 3

   Drain and rinse the broccoli under cold water (drain well) then sprinkle with the juice of ½ a lemon and toss gently.

4. 4

   In a small bowl beat the eggs add the parmesan cheese and mix well. In a small bowl combine the bread crumbs and parsley.

5. 5

   First roll the florets in the egg mixture then roll in the breadcrumb mixture press gently to cover well. Place them in the prepared baking pan, sprinkle with a little salt and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake for approximately 20-30 minutes. (I turned the heat up at the end, last 5 minutes just to brown a bit on top). Enjoy!
