 Broccoli Cheese Roll-ups


I do these a little differently.  Here are my (albeit slight) modifications:

Ingredients:
Any bread, just not stale.
Steamed broccoli, chopped small
Shredded cheese
Butter

1.  Cut off crusts and flatten with a rolling pin.
2.  Add a line of cheese and broccoli close to one end of the bread.
3.  Roll tightly.
4.  In a small pan, melt about 1/2 T of butter.  Carefully get a little melted butter on your finger and run it down the bottom part of the seam (that will touch the rolled bread to seal).  Place roll-ups seam side down in the pan.
5.  Add a little more butter (about 1/2 T again) and flip to the other side.  Brown the 3rd and 4th sides as necessary.

Broccoli and Cheese Mini Egg Omelettes
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/03/broccoli-and-cheese-mini-egg-omelets-2.html



Modifications:  Honestly, it took way more egg than she said to use.  I tried to double it and get 18 muffins to have some to freeze, so I used 9 eggs, and I got 12 muffins.  I also would use a different cheese other than pecorino romano.  The babies didn't mind it, but I didn't like the taste/smell (same in the pasta dish for lunch).  You could use any combination of shredded cheese- 1 c for 12 muffins.  I used 3 whole heads of broccoli and had enough for this and the broccoli cheddar tots.
Cheesy Baked Pumpkin Pasta

Modifications:  Apparently my theme for today was Skinnytaste.  This also wasn't my fav, but I think it also had something to do with the pecorino romano.  You can use any shredded cheese here too.  I used a whole box of whole wheat pasta (around 13 oz I think), baked it in a 9x13, dried rosemary, and waaaaaaaaay more cheese than called for on top.  K liked this.  J wouldn't touch it.
Broccoli and Cheese Tots

Modifications:  I've made these before and they're good!  I chop the broccoli pretty finely, use 2 whole eggs, full fat cheese, no salt & pepper.
