Two boxes of cornbread mix are used. You can use Jiffy, but it will be a little on the sweet side. A cup of cottage cheese really keeps the cornbread moist.

Ingredients

The cornbread mix and cottage cheese get mixed together with a chopped up onion. I like to finely chop it since it doesn’t cook for a real long time. The remaining ingredients are four eggs, 3/4 melted butter, cheddar cheese, a pinch of cayenne pepper and frozen broccoli that has been thawed. You’ll want to take a knife to the broccoli and get it finely chopped. Then it blends into the cornbread much better.

About 40 minutes in the oven and this Cheesy Broccoli Cornbread is ready to be eaten.

Storage

Leftovers keep better than cornbread typically does because of the moisture form the broccoli. Be sure to store any leftovers in the refrigerator and you can reheat in the oven or microwave.

What readers are saying

I made this a few weeks ago, and now I just made it again. It was a big hit. I thought I should half the recipe, but it disappeared. It’s easy enough to fix for a weeknight quick meal, but yummy enough to take to a party or potluck. First time I made it exactly as directed (fresh broccoli). This time I added 1/2 cup whole kernel corn and 1/4 green chilies. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
