Step 2 Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Finely chop broccoli and stir into eggs. Add cheese, breadcrumbs and seeds. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls (about the size of a ping-pong ball). Place onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
