How to Make Crustless Broccoli And Cottage Cheese Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch pie pan or quiche dish with butter.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs from 1-2 slices of toasted bread, pulsed in a food processor. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan to create a crust.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 16 ounces (2 cups) cottage cheese, 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and 3 large eggs until well combined.
- Stir in 2 cups chopped broccoli florets, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper to taste.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Dot with 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Bake for 40-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If using pre-made crust and filling, add 15 minutes to the baking time.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
