Broccoli Cheddar Bites
Enjoy these delicious and healthy Broccoli Cheddar Bites, perfect for snacking or as a side dish.
Equipment
- Silicone mini muffin pan This helps the bites to easily pop out once baked.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 cup lightly steamed and chopped broccoli
- 1 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure your bites cook evenly.
- Steam the broccoli until tender, then chop it lightly. Make sure to remove any tough stems for a better texture.
- In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and beaten eggs. Stir until well combined.
- Gently fold in the coconut flour and baking powder to keep the mixture light and airy.
- Chill the dough for 10-15 minutes. This step helps the coconut flour absorb moisture, making the bites hold together better when baked.
- Spoon the mixture into a silicone mini muffin pan. If you don't have a silicone pan, greasing a regular muffin tin will work as well.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the bites turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking!
Notes
For added flavor, consider mixing in cooked and crumbled beef bacon or diced beef sausage.
