★Instructions
- Prepare the Broccoli Filling:
- In a bowl, mix the chopped broccoli, onion, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Make the Beignet Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Incorporate the Broccoli Filling:
- Gently fold the broccoli mixture into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there’s enough oil to submerge the beignets.
- Fry the Beignets:
- Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve:
- Serve the beignets warm. They can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
Enjoy!
