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.

Time 1h18m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head broccoli, chopped
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
1 (16 ounce) container cottage cheese
3 eggs
½ (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
¼ cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 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. Drain.
  • 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.
