Description

Ingredients

• 1 head of broccoli, chopped into small florets
• ½ C. shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ C. shredded Monterey jack cheese
• ½ C. seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 eggs
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400° and spray mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
• Fill a medium saucepan with a few inches of water and bring to a boil. Add the broccoli, cover and reduce heat. Cook for about 6 minutes, stirring a few times, until broccoli is bright green and tender. Drain and allow to cool. Use a paper towel to remove excess water. If you plan to dice the broccoli, do so after it has cooled.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, breadcrumbs, cheese, eggs and salt and pepper until well mixed.
• Add the mixture to the muffin tin, pressing down with the back of a spoon to pack the mixture tightly in the cups. This will help ensure the baked muffins stay together when you pop them out of the pan.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until golden and crispy around the edges.
• Remove from pan and serve hot or at room temp.
