Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese Nuggets

I found this recipe on a baby food blog and decided to give a try.  I figured it was a good way to get Ellie to eat her broccoli since she currents enjoys mashing off the tops and not actually eating it (and forget pureed!). It is very important to use seasoned bread crumbs and I didn't the first time and my nuggets turned out really bland.  I know they are babies, but they do have taste buds! Add extra seasoning if you like - garlic powder, pepper, extra basil or oregano for example. She loved them and didn't even mind when I gave her one cold.  Success!
