Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese Nuggets


Hmmm... thinking what recipes to share today... nuggets have always been kids favorite, it is a very good way to "hide" your green in your kids diet. Plus, you can froze the remaining nuggets and just reheat it as a quick snack or the on-the-go meals. Trust me,  it's very easy and simple, just mesh everything together and bake it. If your kid is old enough, let them help you shaping their own nuggets, you will sure enjoy the fun!


Ingredients:
1 16-oz broccoli, lightly steamed, drained, and chopped
1 cup Seasoned bread crumbs (you could try using baby cereal if you want, we know it works well with "baby meatballs")
1 ½ cups Shredded cheddar cheese (please use real cheese and not a "processed cheese food" product.)
3  Large eggs or 5 egg yolks -

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375
1. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
2. Combine all remaining ingredients and mix well.
*Add seasonings if you like - garlic powder, pepper, extra basil & oregano for example.
3. Shape mixture into nuggets or fun shapes such as squares or squigglies etc..And place on baking tray. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turn nuggets over after 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Too lazy to make fun shape... round is fine with me :)

Just the right size for Skyler to handle.
