How to Make Made From Scratch Broccoli Cornbread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups cornmeal, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ cup sugar.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  4. In a small skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add ½ cup chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 cups thawed frozen broccoli florets (about 10 oz), 1 cup small curd cottage cheese, and the melted butter with sautéed onions.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the dry ingredients.
  7. Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
