Easy Broccoli Cheese Cups

Simply mix everything together and then squish the mixture down into a GENEROUSLY greased muffin tin (you should only have enough mixture to fill about 16 wells). Top with a little more cheese, and then bake in a 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Done!

Servings: 16 cups

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked and chopped broccoli
  • 1 large egg
  • 12 Ritz crackers (crushed)
  • 1 heaping cup of cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a medium size bowl, mix all of the ingredients together until well incorporated.
  3. Generously grease a mini muffin tin and evenly distribute the mixture into about 16 of your muffin tin cups.
  4. Use your fingers to squish the mixture down so that it’s well compacted.
  5. Top with more cheese and bake in the center rack for 14-16 minutes or until the cheese starts to brown.
  6. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before removing them from the pan.
  7. Serve alone or with a little ranch or ketchup for dipping.
  8. Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Recipe Notes

  • The mixture will seem a bit dry, but this is what makes them crispy and not too eggy. Add an extra egg if you want more of a quiche consistency. They’re great for breakfast this way!
  • To make it easy, I just buy the microwavable frozen broccoli.
  • Like things crispy? You can add a pinch of cheese to the bottom of your greased muffin tin wells before adding your mixture.
  • Feel free to season however you’d like. You could also add onion powder or black pepper. Don’t forget that the Ritz crackers already have added salt.
