What are the broccoli bites?

broccoli: Use fresh or frozen broccoli and make sure to cook it tender, crispy and well drained to keep the bite fluffy. Cut into broccoli for the best texture.

rice: Use white, brown or cauliflower rice. Leftover quinoa, couscous or chopped hash brown potatoes are also great choices!

cheese: Cheddar and Parmesan Sharp or sharp cheddar gives a lot of flavor. You can add or supplement what you have on hand.

Cream Cake: Room temperature eggs and cream cheese can make the mixture faster.

Favorite variant

Pump protein with crushed bacon, diced ham, leftover chicken, cooked tofu or chia seeds.
Add the small salsa sauce, tabasco or buffalo sauce in step 3 to add spicy broccoli bites! Alternatively, add spicy bites with DIY Southwest Mix or Cajun Mix.
Swap the sour cream for regular Greek yogurt to reduce calories of the same flavor.
Cheddar and Parmesan sharp cheese and Parmesan have the best flavor, but the Mexican mixture, mozzarella or crumbled wool cheese will also give this delicious cheesy flavour.

Ingredients for combining broccoli bites in a bowl

The best biting tips!

Cool the broccoli completely and mix it into the egg mixture to avoid biting the water!
Avoid overpaying to keep them moist and fluffy. Once removed from the oven, they will continue to cook a little.
The rice and egg combination create a very sticky batter, so be sure to make the muffin tin grease or use a muffin liner to prevent them from sticking. There is no harm to give the muffin a little cooking spray in line either.
If you are not using a liner, wrap around the butter knife around the muffin well and place it before removing it and cool it a little more.

Store broccoli bites

Place the remaining broccoli bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Enjoy the cold in the microwave at 30-second intervals or reheat it.
Freeze the toast on a single-layer baking sheet and store it in a zippered freezer bag for up to a month.

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Bring a medium can of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until tender and slice, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well and cut into small pieces. Completely cooled.
Mix eggs, cream cheese, sour cream, mustard powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl until smooth. Add chopped broccoli, rice and two cheeses.
Lubricate the mini muffin tin well or use a silicone lining. Gently divide the rice mixture into muffin wells.
Bake for 14-18 minutes, or until solidified and browned on top.
Cool in the pan at least 5 minutes before removing. To relax, run a knife gently around the edge of each broccoli cup.

Lubricating muffin jar Very good because the rice and eggs are really sticking!
For best results, avoid overpouring broccoli bites. When pulled out of the oven, they will continue to cook a little (this is called carousel cooking).
On the edges of the cups, while they are still warm, run the butter knife along the edges of the cups and let them cool before removing them from the pan.
Place the remaining cheesy broccoli bites in a lid container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Enjoy cold or heated.
Wrap individual broccoli bites over plastic wrap and freeze them with a zipper bag for up to 4 weeks. Let them thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
