What do you guys think? Is there a way to successfully freeze roasted vegis with cheese? I wouldn't normally think to freeze it, but I'm trying to make things ahead.

I once did it , was ok but I think fresh is still better

It's basically chopped broccoli mixed with eggs, bread crumbs, and cheese then formed into balls and dipped into a panko crumb and spice mixture then baked. I can post the recipe if you want it.

Please do!
My family would love this

I've never posted an image before so I hope this works. If not I'll just type out the recipe.

how do you avoid the tiny pieces of cream cheese that don't get incorporated into the batter? Or maybe I just need to let the cream cheese sit longer before I start the first step.

The cream cheese should be soft almost at room temperature and it will be creamy. Put it into the mixing bowl before you let it get soft so that it doesn't stick to the packaging. And let it sit in the bowl until soft

A friend forwarded this recipe to me a few months ago and, inspired by this thread, I finally prepared it for this past Shabbat. The chicken was very tasty and the carmelized onions are wonderful in their own right. I had extra onions in gravy left over and was loathe to throw it out so I froze it. I think I will defat it when I thaw it and serve the onions over white rice.

Omg I have no idea what I’m making for Shavuot and didn’t realize it’s so soon. We are in a new place and can’t use our oven on yomtov and I’m someone who does lots of cooking on yomtov normally. Time to get organized and make a plan!

I served them hot, not sure if they'd be good cold or room temp. If you make then ahead you can always try and see how they taste cold.

I'm not a great cook (ie, I don't make it up myself), but I follow directions well. This is the recipe I use:
