  • Mozzarella cheese1/2 cup, shredded
  • Breadcrumbs1/4 cup
  • Egg1
  • Water1/4 cup

Steps

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Finely chop the Brussels sprouts into small, manageable pieces for easier cooking and mashing.

  2. Cook the Brussels Sprouts: Simmer 1/4 cup of water in a saucepan, add the chopped Brussels sprouts, and cook for 8-10 minutes until soft. Drain any excess water.

  3. Mash the Brussels Sprouts: Transfer the cooked Brussels sprouts to a bowl and gently mash them with a potato masher or fork, keeping some texture for teething.

  4. Mix the Ingredients: Add shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, and egg to the mashed Brussels sprouts and mix well until combined and sticky.

  5. Shape the Nibbles: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), line a baking tray with parchment paper, and form the mixture into small, bite-sized nibbles.

  6. Bake the Nibbles: Bake for 10 minutes until the nibbles are firm, the cheese is melted, and they are soft enough for teething.

  7. Cool and Serve: Let the nibbles cool for a few minutes and ensure they are at a safe temperature before serving to your baby.
