Broccoli and Cheese Patties
Mamas seem to always be looking for ways to get their little ones to eat more veggies— at least I am! My little guy eats some veggies very willingly, but others seem to be more of a challenge. Thanks to this recipe on wholesomebabyfood, we’ve found a tasty way to get our toddler to gobble up his greens. It’s a quick four ingredient meal that is easy to freeze… and surprise, surprise… they’re actually delicious! I enjoy them myself from time to time.
Ingredients:
- 16 oz. cooked, drained and chopped broccoli (as small as you think your baby needs it)
- 1 cup of seasoned bread crumbs (if I’m out of bread crumbs, I’ll just throw some day old bread in the mini-chopper and make my own)
- 1 ½ cups of shredded cheese (any kind will work, but we love colby-jack)
- 3 large eggs (or 5 whites)
To make:
Cook broccoli according to package directions. Drain and chop. If you’re making your own breadcrumbs, throw them into your food processor.
Combine all four ingredients in a bowl and mix with a spoon or your hands.
Shape into nuggets, patties or any other fun shape. I’ve used star and heart cookie cutters before.
Place patties on a parchment paper-lined jelly roll pan or cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes (turn over after 15 minutes). Enjoy!
This usually makes 9-12 patties, depending on the size. I keep them in the freezer and take out one or two at a time for a quick meal for my little guy on nights when I don’t feel like cooking.
Bon Appetit!
