Broccoli and Cheese Tarts

Wow! It's September already - a whole 8 months since the last time I posted.  I've definitely been keeping track of new recipes that I've tried but just haven't had the time (or energy) to actually go through the act of posting them.

So Reed is now 7+ months old and is thoroughly enjoying chowing down on any and every food I put in front of him.  I've really been embracing the Baby Led Weaning philosophy and Reed has jumped on board.  I do still give him some purees like apple sauce, yogurt, and Baby Gourmets, but the majority of his foods range from sucking the juices out of a big piece of steak to sweet potato and beet sticks and chomping on a cob of corn (sans corn).

I recently came across this recipe for Broccoli and Cheese muffins used it as a mini-tart recipe instead.  Grayson loved them and I can't wait for Reed to try them in the morning!  Click here to go to the recipe.

Changes:
 I didn't have self rising flour so I used my plain all-purpose flour and added 2 1/2 tsp baking powder.  I also added 1/3 grated Parmesan as well as 2/3 cup grated old cheddar and added some pepper for seasoning.  I definitely did need to add the milk as  suggested in the recipe and baked it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.  This recipe made 36 mini-tarts for me.

Next time I will mix it up with the spices and flavour combo's.  I'm thinking of using feta, dill and spinach in place of the broccoli for a nice little Greek twist on it.  Broccoli and spinach are both high in iron so this just makes it doubly good for my little one!  I really like that the recipe uses yogurt in the mix - a little added calcium and protein never hurts.
