For the longest time, my mum would make this amazing broccoli casserole. It is more like a crustless quiche, but has converted many broccoli haters into broccoli lovers! I have not ever tweaked this recipe - not even to add minced garlic, sauteed onion, pimento, etc; it's too simple and delicious on its own to need tweaking. This can be made ahead and refrigerated before cooking. It freezes well and can be thawed prior to cooking.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Fill a large bowl with ice water to create an ice bath.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Add broccoli and cook, uncovered, until bright green and tender, about 3 minutes.

Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in the ice bath for several minutes to stop the cooking process.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with vegetable oil.

Combine broccoli, cottage cheese, eggs, Cheddar cheese, butter, flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Spread into the prepared casserole dish.

Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 90 minutes.
