I’ve only given my baby broccoli in puree form in the past and since were very much into chewing and self feeding these days, I had to make something that would satisfy both habits. I also started giving him dairy recently and I wanted to give him something cheesy and yummy but of course, nutritious.
1 head of broccoli
3 medium white potatoes
12 oz (2 bags) mild cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon earth balance
1/2 yellow onion
4 brown cage free eggs
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
1. Peel the potatoes, cut into quarters and boil until soft.
2. Meanwhile, wash the broccoli, peel a few layers off the stem and chop up into baby bite size pieces.
3. Put the broccoli in boiling water for 3 minutes, drain and spread out on a paper towel to dry.
4. Chop the onion and sauté in the earth balance. Set aside.
5. When the potatoes are ready cut up into small bite size pieces.
6. Time to combine. Put the broccoli, potato, beaten eggs, ¾ of the cheese, oregano and onion into a bowl and mix well but don’t mash the potatoes.
7. Top with cheese. I went a little overboard with the cheese topping, feel free to use as little or as much as you want.
Cover and cook for 20-25 min. Uncover and let rest for 5 min before serving.
This dish was gone so fast I didn’t have time to freeze anything. As your baby gets older, feel free to add colby or pepper jack cheese to this recipe for a nice spicy kick.
