Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped steamed broccoli
  • 2 tbsp shredded cheese
  • 1 tbsp oat flour

Preparation

  1. Steam broccoli until the stems are soft, then chop finely and pat away excess surface moisture.

  2. Mix the broccoli, shredded cheese and oat flour. Let the mixture rest briefly so the flour hydrates, then shape small, thin patties.

  3. Warm in a lightly oiled nonstick pan over low to medium-low heat, turning carefully until the cheese has melted and patties hold together. Cool until no longer hot and confirm a soft texture.

Serving by Age

Offer soft pieces that break apart under light finger pressure. Check that broccoli stems are tender and there are no tough chunks. Choose pasteurised, lower-sodium cheese where practical.

This recipe is listed for 8m+, so the 6m+ field does not recommend serving it earlier. Within the listed age range and when your baby can manage the texture, serve soft patties baby can easily grasp.
