Baked Broccoli Bites

Oohhhh boy. This is a FUN recipe. I love anything bite-sized, and I love anything that makes vegetables taste good, and these are definitely both of those things! The original recipe called them something like "Broccoli Bites for Kids," but I'm not a kid (well, not technically at least), and I love them! Plus, they're SUPER easy to make! 

Recipe adapted from here.

Ingredients:

12 oz package of frozen broccoli, thawed and drained

1 1/4 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese

3 eggs

salt & pepper, to taste

1 cup of Italian seasoned bread crumbs

Directions:

1. Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl.

2. Use your hands to form the mixture into small patties. Place the patties on a baking sheet (lightly greased, or covered with parchment paper or a Silpat).

3. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes, flipping the patties over after the first 15 minutes.
