Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh broccoli florets that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- To make the breading extra crispy, double-coat the broccoli florets in the egg mixture and breadcrumbs.
- If you don't have a deep fryer, you can also shallow-fry the broccoli florets in a large skillet with about 1 inch of oil.
- To make the cooking process easier and less messy, use a deep fryer or a large pot with plenty of oil.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pot or fryer when cooking the broccoli florets. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the broccoli will not cook evenly.
- Serve the breaded broccoli florets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
