Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Frozen chopped broccoli
- 8.5 oz Cornbread mix
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 1 stick Butter, melted
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Cook the frozen broccoli according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and chop any large pieces into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well combined. Add the cornbread mix, melted butter, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Fold in the cooked broccoli, chopped onion, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
