Hello beautiful people,
I hope you all had an awesome weekend. I personally had a very enjoyable Sunday (I have a working Saturday 🙁 ). But on Sunday, my hubby’s few friends and us got together for a brunch and played Pool, Dumb Charades etc. and it was whole lotta fun!!! And then my Monday Blues started (can u blame a girl???).
So coming to last weekend, I was too tired after work on Saturday to cook anything elaborate for dinner and too finicky to eat out or order in! Plus there was a broccoli head staring at me in fridge from last week and I hate wasting/throwing any form of food. Hence I thought of making this eezee-peezee appetizer and decided to serve it over Tomato & Red Pepper Soup.
It turned out to be an amazing combo!
Posting my recipe for Tomato & Red Pepper Soup is a tale for another time (I know you can’t wait but plzz wait!!!). So here comes the recipe of yummilicious Cheesy Broccoli Bites!
Ingredients:
- 250 gms fresh broccoli head, cut into florets and steamed
- 100 gms grated white cheddar cheese
- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Directions:
Cut broccoli into big florets. Let it steam for 2 minutes and then chop it finely.
Bake at 375F/190C for 30 minutes, turning the patties after the first 15 minutes.
P.S. You can also serve these with the homemade low-fat Ranch dressing from this recipe: http://cookbybook.wordpress.com/2013/04/18/veggie-shooters/
I’ve got this bookmarked. They look delish!!
Thank u so much! They are crispy, sooo delish and superquick..
Do try it & let us know how they turned out! ?
Is there a substitute for egg that could be used in this recipe?
You can try mashed potatoes or pureed plain tofu.
Use 1/4 cup mashed potatoes/pureed tofu = 1 egg.
If using pureed tofu then increase the quantity of flour by 1 Tbsp for every 1/4 cup of pureed tofu.
Hope this helps..
Do try and let us know what you tried and how it turned out.. Would be of a huge help to everyone!
Thanks!
