Cheesy Broccoli Casserole
Ingredients
  • 1 head broccoli, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 1 (16 ounce) container cottage cheese
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Prepare a large container by filling it with ice and water to create a cooling station.
2
Heat a substantial vessel of salted water until it reaches its boiling point. Introduce broccoli into the pot and cook, without covering it, until it transforms into a vibrant green color and becomes tender, approximately 3 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a strainer and immediately submerge it in the ice bath for several minutes to halt the cooking process, allowing it to retain its texture. Remove.
3
Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent the casserole from sticking.
4
Combine broccoli, cottage cheese, eggs, Cheddar cheese, butter, flour, salt, and pepper in a large mixing vessel. Distribute the mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
5
Place the casserole in the preheated oven, uncovered, until a knife inserted into the center of the dish comes out clean, spanning 60 to 90 minutes.
