The boys always want to ‘help’ in the kitchen. Since that is a habit I want to encourage I try to find tasks for them to do. I also notice that when they help prepare dinner they are more excited about eating dinner. Not that getting a house full of boys excited about eating is ever too difficult. But to really put them over the moon I had them help prepare some Broccoli Cheese Bites. I might even call them Broccoli Extreme Cheese Bites.
What makes the broccoli bites extreme? That would be their secret ingredient, Goldfish® Flavor Blasted® XTra Cheddar.
You might be familiar with Goldfish crackers and the perfect snack solution, but now you can add them to your dinner menu as well. With only 4 ingredients they are the perfect snack or side dish for the kids to help make. And for my kids the recipe contains all the tasks they enjoy: a little chopping, a little measuring, and some mixing.
Simply combine steamed chopped broccoli, eggs, shredded cheese, and crushed Goldfish crackers in a bowl. Then spoon them out into a prepared muffin pan and bake.
I picked up a 30 oz bulk carton of both the Cheddar and the Flavor Blasted® XTra Cheddar at Walmart.
You will definitely elicit a smile when you pull out a carton of Goldfish crackers and tell your family that it’s an ingredient for dinner. And when it means that kids are excited to eat broccoli that’s a win-win for parents and kids.

These look incredible! I am definitely trying them. My son won’t eat any veggies right now, so this would be perfect!
Such a fun family friendly dish. I love it. Thanks for linking up at the Best of the Blogosphere Linky party. We’re changing next week and you’ll be able to add more than one link. Be sure to come back!
What a great idea. Maybe my kids will get this is I tell them it has gold fish in it. Yum! You should link this up at Family Joy Blog Link Up Party tomorrow evening. Hope to see you there!

Do you think I could substitute the egg with something else? Maybe butter?
Hello!
I’ve never tried an egg substitute for this recipe, but I would probably try to use ground flaxseed. You can mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2 to 3 tablespoons of water for an egg substitute. You could also try a similar ratio using chia seeds.
Tofu or Greek yogurt might also work as an egg substitute for this recipe.
Best,
