Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rounds are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Let the broccoli cheese rounds cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve warm as a snack or appetizer. They can also be enjoyed with a dipping sauce like ranch or marinara!
