Broccoli and cheddar bites
Rachel 9 months ago
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion, diced small
- 1 Garlic Clove, finely chopped
- Kosher Salt & Pepper
- 16 oz. Broccoli Crowns, roughly chopped small
- 2 Cups Triple Cheddar Blend, divided
- 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Cup Milk
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 375F and grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter.
2️⃣ In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 4 mins. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring, until bright green and slightly tender, about 5 mins.
3️⃣ Transfer into a large bowl and add 1 cup of the Tillamook Triple Cheddar Blend. Add the flour, baking powder, eggs, milk, and 2 tsp kosher salt.
4️⃣ Pour into the prepared baking dish spread into one even layer. Sprinkle the remaining cup of Tillamook Triple Cheddar Blend evenly on top.
5️⃣ Bake 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes. Cut into triangles with a sharp knife: Cut the 9-inch side into 4 sections, and the 13-inch side into 6 sections, creating 24 squares. Cut each square in half on a diagonal to create two triangles.
6️⃣ Butter a sheet pan. Using a small spatula, transfer the broccoli bites to the prepared sheet pan, leaving a little space between each triangle. (At this stage, you could allow the bites to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.) Bake the bites until slightly crisp, about 15 minutes. (This will also firm them up.) Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the bites to a platter or large plate and serve warm. Enjoy!
