Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°. Coat a baking sheet with vegetable oil spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients and mix well. Shape mixture into nuggets and place on baking tray approximately 3 inches apart.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning nuggets over after 15 minutes. Serve warm.
- I didn't have enough frozen broccoli but I had a bunch of cut up veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, etc) for dipping so I steamed them with the frozen and then put all the veggies into the food processor and let it whirl. Then I added the rest of the ingredients (make sure you temper the eggs before adding them or you'll have scrambled eggs). I also added about 2 teaspoons of flaxseed oil and two tablespoons of wheat germ to the mixture.
- Also, this makes A LOT, so I only baked 6 and I formed the rest and froze them on a cookie sheet and then put them in a freezer bag and I'll just bake them as I need them.
- Secondly, I think in the future I'll add whatever meat I have on hand or some beans to the food processor for some added protein. Zoe and Owen loves these!

BABY FINGER FOOD - BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR NUGGETS
My son LOVES these! I found it on wholesomebabyfood.com and I am posting it here for safe keeping. These are really simple to make, don't cost a lot and kids will inhale them! They are recommended for babies that are 6 months and older, but they also advise speaking to your pediatrician before starting your baby on solids. Also, remember to follow the RULE OF FOUR (wait 4 days after introducing new foods) and make sure your baby has had no allergic reactions to any of the foods in this recipe before serving it!
