Ingredients
Broccoli Bites Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets (finely chopped; about 1 large head of broccoli)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 large eggs (beaten)
- 3 tablespoons white whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, beaten eggs, flour, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each hole generously above the rim to create nicely shaped bites.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the bites are set and golden on top.
- Cool and Remove: Let the Broccoli Bites cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen them from the pan, then carefully remove.
- Freeze (Optional): For freezing, bake and cool completely, then store in an air-tight freezer bag for up to 1 month.
- Reheat Frozen Bites: To prepare from frozen, microwave wrapped in a moist paper towel in 20-30 second increments until warmed, or thaw in the fridge then microwave briefly to heat through.
Notes
- If you don’t have a mini muffin pan, you can bake these in a regular-sized muffin pan, but bake a little longer until the centers are set.
- Broccoli Bites can stick to metal pans; soaking and gently scrubbing with a sponge helps cleaning. Using a silicone pan can make cleanup easier.
