Wash and trim the broccoli. Peel and finely dice the stalks. Divide the broccoli into small florets. First, add the stalks to boiling water and cook for 2 minutes, then add the florets and simmer for another 3-4 minutes. Dice the onion. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Drain the broccoli and chop or mash it a little finer if necessary. Mix with the squeezed bread roll, egg, and onion. Season with salt, pepper, mustard, and paprika. Mix in the cheese. If the mixture is too soft, add a little breadcrumbs until it is pliable. Form the mixture into approximately 20 rolls (approximately 6 cm long and 2 cm in diameter). Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake in the oven on the middle rack for approximately 15 minutes. The rolls can also be made larger; in this case, the baking time will need to be extended accordingly.
