Beat eggs in a mixing bowl with a whisk until well blended. Place remaining ingredients EXCEPT breadcrumbs into bowl with eggs. Stir with a spatula until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate mixture for about 1 hour. This will help to bind the mix. Heat about 4 cups oil in a deep fryer, or deep pan for frying at 350 degrees. 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. Place broccoli bites into the fry basket , or frying pan. Make sure they do not stick together. Fry for one minute, then remove and place onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve with Honey Mustard Dressing.
