EASY BROCCOLI-CHEESE CASSEROLE



Easy Broccoli-Cheese Casserole image

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.

BROCCOLI & COTTAGE CHEESE CASSEROLE



Broccoli & Cottage Cheese Casserole image

I found this recipe in a cookbook given to me for Christmas called "Irish Cooking". The casserole is really simple to make, and it has an almost quiche-like texture to it. The original recipe called for regular cottage cheese, but we actually had FAT FREE on hand. I don't think it took away from the flavor of the dish at all. This dish might also be nice served at brunch or breakfast.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and high-quality broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has wilted florets.
  • Cook the broccoli properly: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its nutrients and flavor.
  • Use a good quality cottage cheese: Cottage cheese is a key ingredient in this casserole, so it is important to use a good quality brand. Look for cottage cheese that is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
  • Season the casserole well: This casserole should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other seasonings to your taste, such as onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  • Top the casserole with cheese: A layer of grated cheese on top of the casserole will give it a golden brown crust and a delicious flavor.

Conclusion:

Broccoli cottage cheese casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with nutrients and can be easily customized to your taste. With its creamy texture, cheesy flavor, and crunchy broccoli florets, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
