1 hrsThese little squares disappear fast at potlucks. Broccoli, corn, and chopped walnuts get layered in a pan, covered with a quick batter of eggs, milk, butter, and Bisquick, then baked until set and topped with a bubbly layer of melted cheddar.
They’re firm enough to pick up with your fingers, creamy enough to feel indulgent, and packed with enough vegetables to feel virtuous about grabbing a third one.
Cut them into triangles or squares, and you’ve got 30 bite-sized appetizers from a single 9×9 pan.
Serve warm or at room temperature. They hold up well on a buffet table and reheat nicely the next day.
Pro Tips
- Drain the broccoli thoroughly after thawing. Squeeze it in a clean towel to remove as much water as possible, or the batter will be soggy.
- Let them cool the full 30 minutes before cutting. They firm up as they rest and will slice into clean pieces instead of crumbling.
- Swap in sharp cheddar for a bolder flavor that punches through the mild batter.
