Broccoli And Cheese Tots Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• Heat a 6- to 7-inch waffle iron to medium-high heat. Spray liberally with cooking spray. When ready, open and arrange the Veggie Tots, touching each other, to fill the iron. Close and press firmly. Cook 5 minutes.
• Remove and place on a wire rack over a sheet tray. Hold warm in the oven. Repeat to make a second waffle.
• Crack eggs into a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook until outer edges become opaque, about 1 minute. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until whites are completely set, about 4 minutes.
• Cut each waffle in half. Serve each half topped with 2 slices of bacon and 1 fried egg. Garnish with scallions and hot sauce, if desired.

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Aggressively season with salt. Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for about two minutes.
• Drain and finely chop the cooked broccoli.
• In a mixing bowl, add broccoli, scallions, garlic, cheddar, egg, and bread crumbs. Optional: Add hot sauce of choice. Mix well and chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
• Spray a nonstick baking sheet with nonstick spray. Shape the mixture into tot shapes and spread them evenly on the sheet.
• Bake for 8-9 minutes. Flip and then bake for an additional 8-9 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place 1/2 of the broccoli florets in a food processor; pulse about 20 times until it looks like grains of rice. Repeat with remaining broccoli florets.
• Fill a large, shallow saucepan with 1/2 inch water; add 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add broccoli rice. Cover and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer broccoli rice to the center of a clean absorbent dish towel. Squeeze and twist the towel to remove as much of the moisture as possible.
• Mix Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, onion, egg, parsley, garlic, cumin, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Mix in broccoli rice until mixture sticks together when pressed into a ball.
• Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture with a small ice cream scoop; form into a ball and press into the shape of a tot using oiled hands. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture.
• Drizzle olive oil over broccoli tots. Sprinkle remaining 1 teaspoon salt on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway with tongs, until golden brown, about 24 minutes.

Steps:

• Grate the broccoli with a coarse cheese grater.
• Transfer the grated bits to a medium bowl and season with a ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Mix the broccoli until well incorporated.
• Let the broccoli sit for 20 minutes until the salt has drawn out some of the moisture.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Pour the broccoli into a clean kitchen towel and twist to strain as much liquid as you can.
• Place the grated broccoli back into a bowl and mix with the breadcrumbs, chives, cheddar, garlic, remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt, pepper, and egg, and mix until well combined.
• Form the mixture into 15 even sized tots and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 20-24 minutes, flipping each halfway through.
• Serve with your choice of dipping sauce.
• Enjoy!
