Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 4 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 spray Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil spray and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spinach, blanched broccoli, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar cheese, egg whites, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the mixture to create a crispy topping.
Lightly spray the panko topping with olive oil spray to help it turn golden brown during baking.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy, low-fat spinach broccoli casserole!
