This recipe yields 20 mini broccoli and cheese bites. If you prefer making regular-sized bites, simply increase the baking time by a few additional minutes to ensure they cook through.
I recommend using a silicone muffin pan for easy removal, as the bites release effortlessly without sticking. If you're using a standard mini muffin pan, make sure to coat it well with cooking spray beforehand. It’s best to avoid paper liners, as these bites tend to stick to them.
For the onions, chop them as finely as you can to avoid noticeable chunks in the finished bites.
Mozzarella is my go-to cheese for this recipe because it’s lower in sodium than many other varieties, but feel free to use any cheese you prefer! A cheddar jack mix or a four-cheese Mexican blend also works wonderfully and adds great flavor.
If you’re making these for adults, consider adding salt and extra seasonings for a flavor boost. I often make a batch for my baby without added salt, then season a separate batch with a little spice for everyone else!
