1/2 oz. diced yellow onion

Drain thawed broccoli thoroughly by pressing through a strainer.
Beat eggs in a mixing bowl with a whisk until well blended.
Place all the ingredients into a plastic container, except the bread crumbs.
Stir together with a spatula until thoroughly combined.
Refrigerate mixture for about 1 hour.
This will help to bind the mix making preparation much easier.
Heat about 4 cups oil in a fryer or deep pan for frying at 350F.
Set up a shallow pan with bread crumbs.
Scoop about 1/2 oz. portion of the broccoli mixture into the bread crumbs. Form each portion into a ball and coat it well.
