Spinach nuggets

This one is from "Wholesome Toddler Food" (http://www.wholesometoddlerfood.com/weeklytoddlerrecipes.htm). I'll take a picture next time I make them and add it. I think mine got a little too done, but C still loves them!

Ingredients:
1 16-oz package frozen chopped spinach, cooked, drained, and chopped further if needed
1 cup Seasoned bread crumbs - (3/4 cup breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup wheat germ or flax meal is a healthy substitution!)
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese Try tomato & basil cheddar!)
3 Large eggs or 5 egg yolks

1.Heat oven to 375F
2. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
3. Combine all remaining ingredients and mix well. *Add seasonings if you like - garlic powder, pepper, extra basil & oregano for example. Add a fruit or veggie puree to substitute for the eggs if desired*.
4. Shape mixture into nuggets or fun shapes such as squares or squigglies etc..and place on baking tray. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turn nuggets over after 15 minutes. Serve warm
You can "roll" this out and then try using small cookie cutters to make these into fun shapes!

  1. I can vouch for this recipe that my son, who just turned one, loves these. Thanks E.! I have never been able to get one of my kids to eat spinach so I'm pretty excited that my baby is eating spinach every day!
