1/4 pound cooked bacon, crumbled into pieces
1/2 yellow onion, diced and sautéed
3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cup shredded cheese, preferably mexican blend or colby/jack
4 cup canola oil, for frying
italian breadcrumbs, as needed
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup dijon mustard
2 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon cider vinegar

Directions

In a bowl, mix together the broccoli, bacon, onion, flour, eggs, and cheese until well blended. Refrigerate the mixture for about 1 hour to help bind the mix to make preparation easier.
In a bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and vinegar until all ingredients are combined to form th Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce.
Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish and set it aside. Form the broccoli mixture into meatball-sized balls.

Serve the Broccoli Rockets hot with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce.
