Broccoli and Cheese Bake
This recipe is a riff on the spinach and cheese recipe that I posted several years ago. It has the flavor of a broccoli and cheese soup without the heavy cream. Ingredients: 8oz fat free cottage cheese 2 Laughing Cow soft cheese wedges 2 eggs 16oz uncooked broccoli florets 1/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs Onion powder Garlic powder Black pepper or red pepper flakes Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top Directions: Steam broccoli on stovetop or in microwave I weighed 16oz of broccoli into a glass Pyrex container, added a cup of water, and cooked in microwave for 12 minutes Blend Laughing Cow cheese, eggs, and cottage cheese in small blender or food processor, then add to a mixing bowl Chop up or use potato masher to break the broccoli into small pieces. Add to the mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and seasonings to the bowl and mix all ingredients together Pour into greased pie plate and top with parmesan if desired Bake at 375 Fahrenheit for 45 minutes or until well browned Serve ho
