This recipe was personally prepared by Maria Attanasio for the October 2015 meeting with the Curious Cuisiners. Note: "I made this for my picky husband (who literally gags at the smell and taste of broccoli) and he loved it. His exact word: 'INCREDIBLE'. Every time I make this for company, my friends ask for the recipe. They cannot believe how kids gobble up the broccoli and onions." Recipe provided by All Recipes

How To Make broccoli cornbread with cheese

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Step 2
    Beat cottage cheese, butter and eggs in a large bowl. Stir corn muffin mix into butter mixture just until moistened. Fold in broccoli (note: to avoid damp spots in your cornbread. drain the broccoli well and squeeze it dry with paper towels).
  • Step 3
    Pour batter into prepared baking dish and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
  • Step 4
    Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pan 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm. Note: Ours started to pull away from the sides of the pan after 35 minutes, but needed to bake an additional 10 minutes to cook in the center.
