Because broccoli  has long been known as one of the healthiest vegetables, it's a great piece of produce to introduce into your kid's diet. If they're not up for taking on the green veggie plain, try one of the following recipes that have been tested and approved by our panel of pint-size judges.

Broccoli-and-Cheddar Mini Quiches

Broccoli-and-Cheddar Mini Quiches Recipe

Who needs a pie pan or pastry dough when you've got muffin tins? This quiche recipe combines the standard custard mixture with steamed broccoli and cheddar cheese baked into muffin-sized mini quiches. These are the perfect breakfast treats for your little ones—especially if you have a daily broccoli battle on your hands!

Little quiches fit perfectly in little hands. Best of all, they can be served for any meal of the day. If you're feeling brave, try adding other fresh vegetables or leftover meat to this recipe.

Broccoli Bread Recipe

Savory with a touch of sweetness, Broccoli Bread cooks up like cornbread but offers fiber and calcium. It works well as a side dish, especially on soup night.

Broccoli and Double Cheese Calzones Recipe

Our kid judges could not get enough of these Italian  wonders. "It looks like a pie, and tastes like a pizza!" said Jarret, 8. Another panelist suggested adding pepperoni for even more kid appeal.

Cherry Tomatoes with Broccoli Filling

Cherry Tomatoes with Broccoli Filling

Cherry Tomatoes with Broccoli Filling Recipe

Think of cherry tomatoes as healthy, edible serving bowls for children. We filled ours with a creamy broccoli concoction. For other hearty stuffers, try chicken or tuna salad. On the lighter side, a corn salad would be tasty and easy for kids to manage.
