These broccoli cheddar fritters are cheeeeeesy and so so delicious!

We love anything broccoli cheddar in this house so I was not surprised my son loved these broccoli cheddar fritters. Cheesy and delish from the cheddar but with tons of nutrients from the broccoli. An easy side your little one will love!

BABY LED WEANING

This would be a great recipe to serve babies starting at 6 months, once they’ve been safely introduced to the allergens in the recipe. For younger babies, typically it’s best to serve bigger pieces since those are easier for them to hold. Once they develop the pincer grasp (pointer and thumb pinching together), then you can start to give them smaller pieces.

For information on how to safely serve foods to babies depending on their age (plus so much more), I recommend Solid Starts. The app is free and has tons of information!

ALLERGENS

This recipe has eggs, dairy, and wheat.

If you’d like to try it with an egg replacer, this one available online at Target. This post highlights other ideas for egg substitutes in recipes. GF breadcrumbs should work fine!

STORAGE

I stored these in the fridge for 4 days, then transferred to the freezer. They can stay in the freezer for 2-3 months.

To freeze I would line a baking sheet with foil or parchment then lay in a single layer and place in the freezer. Once frozen (give it a few hours) you can transfer to another container. This way they are individually frozen rather than all stuck together in one huge block!

To reheat I would either thaw in the fridge overnight then toast or microwave, or just toast or microwave from frozen. Best when toasted!

SUBSTITUTES & ADD INS

Any other cheeses should sub in just fine.

TOOLS USED/RECOMMENDED

Small spatula – I find these easiest to use when flipping small pancakes or other small fritters for baby

Steamer/Pasta Pot – We use this all the time. Has a steamer and pasta insert. This isn’t the exact one we have, but probably should switch to it because it’s stainless steel.

Masher – I like this one because it doesn’t get stuck in the drawer!
