Baked Broccoli & Cheese Patties

These baked broccoli patties with cheese are an awesome, healthy and delicious dinner side dish. Another great way to get kids to eat their veggies (and adults too!). Broccoli is a great source of Vitamin C and these have both a dairy and vegetable source of calcium. These can also be made in bulk, then frozen for future meals. Simple defrost in the fridge and re-heat and crisp them up again in the oven.
