These are so good! Crisp on the outside and melting cheese on the inside! This recipe was originally from Betty Crocker. Servings depends totally on how large or small you cut your cheese. I prefer Monterrey Jack.

Categories     Kid Friendly

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

vegetable oil cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) package frozen broccoli
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 large eggs

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!
