Broccoli and Cheddar Nuggets

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with oil.

Step 2

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil; add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes. Let broccoli cool at room temperature until cool enough to touch.

Step 3

Transfer broccoli into a large mixing bowl. Add bread crumbs, Cheddar cheese, eggs, basil, oregano, and garlic powder to the broccoli; mix. Shape into nuggets or fun shapes and arrange onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in preheated for 15 minutes, flip, and continue baking until heated through and beginning to firm, 10 to 15 minutes more.
