Will has become an increasingly picky eater as he gets older, especially when it comes to vegetables. But so far, he hasn't figured out to reject this broccoli-filled food.Cheesy Vegetable Nuggets
8 oz (1 cup) frozen broccoli florets
4 oz (1 cup) dry breadcrumbs*
6 oz (1 1/2 cups) cheddar and/or mozzarella, grated
2 1/2 tbsp water
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
Heat the oven to 375. Cook the broccoli, then drain and chop well. Combine with the remaining ingredients and mix well. Spread mixture into a 1/4 to 1/2" thick rectangle on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden brown. Let cool, then cut into smaller squares. These can be divided and frozen. Serve warm.
* For breadcrumbs, I usually toss a few pieces of torn whole wheat bread into the food processor.
