1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
1 cup bread crumbs
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3 eggs

I added some chopped bacon to these nuggets and they were amazing. The bacon added a nice smoky flavor.

I made these nuggets with whole wheat flour and they turned out great. They are a healthier alternative to traditional nuggets.
