Clean and Skinny Broccoli Cheese Bites

Clean and Skinny Broccoli Cheese Bites

Big bites! AND healthy!! Also very addicting =)

Here you go:

16oz. frozen broccoli thawed (I used fresh steam broccoli)
1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese (I used 50% fat free)
3 eggs (Thanks to my girls for these!)
Salt and Pepper
1 cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs

~ Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

~ Mix all ingredients in large bowl.

~ With hands form small patties (I got about 12 with the size patties above).

~ Place on cookie sheet lines with parchment paper.

~ Cooking time: 25 minute *Flip patties after first 15 minutes.

I added a little pizza sauce to my plate, which is only 25 calories for a 1/4 cup!, for a little marinara feeling.

Enjoy!!
