Tips
- Little chefs can help mash broccoli and spread broccoli mixture on bread. Omit red pepper flakes if they're not ready for the extra spice.
- Do you have fresh broccoli in the fridge? Place in a microwaveable bowl with 30 mL (2 tbsp) water and microwave on high for approximately 5 minutes.
- Make a double batch of broccoli mixture and freeze extras for up to 2 weeks. Warm in microwave before layering on toast and baking in oven.
- This recipe is great to use up any dry or stale bread to reduce food waste and save money.
