Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
  • 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs or panko
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • A pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish.
