I love these as a side dish! Broccoli, cheese and rice are just meant to be put together! There are so many great ways to play around with this recipe! Add chicken to make it a great entree for kids, play with different flavors of cheese, add some peppers or herbs!
I have made these many times and they’re always a hit! Once in a while, I will even fold up 1/2 of a cheese slice and put it in the middle! Be certain you grease your muffin pan very well or they will stick!
