  3. Heat in the preheated oven until melted (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Carefully remove from oven and tilt the dish to coat the sides with melted butter.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine one 8.5 oz box of cornbread mix, 1 cup chopped broccoli florets, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 cup ricotta cheese, and 2 large eggs.
  6. Stir until well combined.
  7. Add 1/2 cup (or more, to taste) of grated cheddar cheese, stirring until incorporated.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly using a spatula.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven and sprinkle with an additional 1/4 cup of grated cheese.
  11. Return to oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving immediately.
