# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They disappear faster than you can make them, which means less leftovers to worry about.
  • You can prep the whole batch in one bowl without dirtying half your kitchen.
  • They taste indulgent but keep you steady, no sugar crash or guilt afterward.
02 -
  • If your batter feels too wet, add another tablespoon of almond flour, too dry and they'll crumble instead of holding together.
  • Don't overbake them or the cheese will turn greasy and the texture goes rubbery, pull them as soon as they're set and golden.
03 -
  • Press the steamed broccoli gently with a paper towel to remove extra moisture, it keeps the batter from getting soggy.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to portion them evenly, it makes shaping faster and ensures they all bake at the same rate.
