Broccoli Cheddar Bites
Ingredients for Broccoli Cheddar Bites:
Broccoli - 1 large (divided into florets)
Cheddar cheese - 1 cup (grated)
White bread - 1/2 cup (torn amd packed, crusts removed)
Onion - 1/4 cup (blended)
Mayonnaise - 1/4 cup
Eggs - 2 (lightly beaten)
Lemon zest - 1 1/2 tsp.
Kosher salt - 1/2 tsp.
Ground black pepper - 1/4 tsp.
Method of preparing the Broccoli Cheddar Bites:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Boil or steam the broccoli florets for 5 minutes, or until just tender.
  3. Drain the broccoli and rinse under the faucet in cold tap water. This will preserve the bright green color and stop the cooking process.
  4. Chop up the broccoli florets. You should have around 2 cups.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and soak the torn bread in the egg. Then add the grated onion, cheddar, mayonnaise, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper, and then fold in the chopped broccoli.
  6. Grease 2 mini muffin tins with olive oil and distribute the muffin mixture among the muffin wells.
  7. Bake the mini muffins for 25 minutes until golden brown on top and fully cooked through.
  8. Remove the muffins from the tin and transfer them to a plate. Serve fresh, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 4 days.
