ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli, cooked, drained and chopped
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (I used store bought crumbs but you could probably use homemade)
- 1 1⁄2 cups real cheddar cheese, shredded (avoid using processed cheese food)
- 3 large eggs (check with your pediatrician before feeding eggs to a baby under 1 year or see note at end of recipe) or 5 egg yolks (check with your pediatrician before feeding eggs to a baby under 1 year or see note at end of recipe)
directions
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
- Combine all remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Before mixing, add seasonings if you like - garlic powder, pepper, basil & oregano for example.
- Shape mixture into nuggets or fun shapes such as squares or squigglies etc.and place on baking tray.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning nuggets over after 15 minutes. Serve warm.
- Be sure to crumble these if your baby needs.
- (Note: If your baby cannot have eggs, you can substitute a jar of vegetable puree. Carrot works well).
- These may also be frozen for up to a week. Reheat in oven the same way you prepared them and allow plenty of time to cool before serving them to your little one.

I didn't really start trying to cook until I was in my 20's, but Recipe Zaar really helped build my love for food and showed me the beauty of culinary experimentation. I'm still here as of 2024 so I hope you enjoy the recipes that I've managed to compile over the last two decades. Thanks for stopping by!
