Did you make this recipe? Leave a rating below and let me know how you liked the recipe! Your feedback means so much to me! It’s also a fun way to get more veggies into your child’s diet without a big fuss. These broccoli cheese bites are like mini frittatas in bite-size form, and they’re magical. And don’t worry about extras – these freeze really well!
Broccoli florets – I’m using frozen broccoli for convenience but you can use fresh broccoli as well. There’s no need to cook it but be sure to chop finely. Eggs – act as a binding agent and adds softness and tenderness as well as a boost of nutrition. Bread crumbs – I like to use whole wheat breadcrumbs but you can use regular or panko breadcrumbs if desiring a crispier texture. Cheese – cheddar cheese will work best but feel free to use any of your favorite shredded cheese like mozzarella cheese or parmesan cheese. Seasonings – again, feel free to experiment. Garlic powder and oregano are my go-to for this recipe.
Dipping sauce – serve with sugar free pizza sauce, ranch dressing, Greek yogurt, hummus, etc. Grains – serve alongside cooked grains such as quinoa, rice, or couscous for a well-rounded and filling meal. Vegetable platter – include carrot sticks, cucumber slices, and bell pepper strips. Soup – enjoy with a warm bowl of soup such as carrot lentil soup or tomato soup. Breakfast – serve alongside toast, yogurt, and fresh fruit. Kid’s lunch – pack the broccoli bites in their school lunch box along with vegetables, fruits, and a dip (pictured hummus) or yogurt cup for a well-balanced lunch.
The regular sized muffin pan is another one of my go-to and this is what I use to bake all of my muffins. I highly recommend hand washing these. Or freeze for up to 2 months. I recommend using the flash freezing method that I use for freezing muffins.
