Cheesy Broccoli Bites: Recipe

Getting Ethan to eat his vegetables is a common struggle around our house (and I am sure it is a struggle all across the country, right?)

If Ethan eats a pea (yes, just one pea) we jump up and down for joy.  I am not joking.  So, I am always looking for ways to sneak veggies into our meals and sometimes those tricks work and other times they fail.

These cheesy broccoli bites were considered a "success" because Ethan took two bites.  TWO!  That is bigger than a pea, so I call it a success.

Ainsley and I devoured them and I can honestly say I will make them again and again.  

We used a recipe found HERE, but tweaked it a bit to suit our tastes.  

Cheesy Broccoli Bites

2 1/2 cups fresh steamed broccoli, chopped

2 cups of shredded cheese, mozzarella and cheddar

3 eggs

salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder (all to taste)

3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs

*Mix all the ingredients together.

*Using your hands, form golf ball sized patties and place them onto a greased baking sheet 

*Bake at 375F for 30 minutes or until browned on both sides, flipping halfway through.

*Enjoy them plain or with some yummy ranch dressing dip.

YUM!
