#804: Broccoli Bites


This recipe reminds me of our family spinach patties.  Grandma Chirch used to make it for us a couple of times a year.  Now Auntie Mar makes it for us mainly for ravioli day and random family get-togethers.  This was extremely easy and although I made a lot of little patties, next time I think I'll try making this in a 9x13 pan and then cut it into squares.  Even Matthew is loving eating these.  We have been eating them cold and I've been dipping mine in homemade pizza sauce.  Delish!

16 oz. package of frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained of liquid (I used 24 oz of frozen steamed broccoli)
1 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese (I used 1 cup)
3 eggs (I used egg substitute)
salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup of seasoned Italian breadcrumbs (I used 3/4 c)

I started by putting my cooked broccoli into my food processor and then pulsed until it was into fairly small pieces but not pureed or mushed.  Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.  Form small patties and lay on a parchment lined baking sheet.  Bake at 375F for 25 minutes, turning the patties after the first 15 minutes.  Let cool (or eat immediately out of the oven and risk burning your tongue, as I did).

My entire batch was 24 ww+ pts.  I got 16 fairly large patties out of this.  Next time I will bake in a 9x13 pan and cut into 24 pieces.
