I make this Creamy Broccoli Cottage Cheese Bake when you want a cozy, cheesy broccoli casserole that’s secretly high in protein and lighter than the classic cream‑soup versions. You toss tender broccoli with a cottage‑cheese‑egg mixture and shredded cheese, bake it until puffed and golden, and serve it as a comforting side dish or a light vegetarian main that fits weekday dinner, holiday spreads, and even meal prep.
Why you’ll love this bake
This recipe uses cottage cheese and eggs to create a naturally creamy, custard‑like base that binds the broccoli without flour or canned soup, similar to other high‑protein broccoli cottage cheese casseroles. You still get all the cheesy, bubbly top from cheddar or mozzarella and Parmesan, but with extra protein and a shorter, simpler ingredient list that works for low‑carb, gluten‑free, and vegetarian eaters.
