Broccoli, eggs and cheeses bake up perfectly in this light, delicious broccoli souffle.
Broccoli Souffle
I had the best day today. I went out antiquing looking for vintage kitchen accessories. One of the things I was hoping to find was a cupcake pan with a certain kind of lines on top made by Echo and I found one! It sure doesn’t take much these days to excite me but I really was surprised to find it.
I ate a late lunch and by the time I got home I was just too tired to make dinner right away. About 8:00 I was going thru my recipe box and found a broccoli souffle recipe from one of my moms friends that was a weekly recipe at her kitchen store years ago. It sounded perfect for now a late supper, broccoli, eggs, cheeses baked and I served it with a strawberry salad. Yum!
I can also tell you this was a Chloe and Lola approved dinner, they both licked their plates clean. Oh and Lola and Chloe are my dogs so it is perfectly acceptable that they licked their plates.
- 4 eggs
- 12 oz, frozen broccoli - not thawed
- 1 lb. carton small curd cottage cheese
- 8 oz. cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Pour mixture into a greased baking dish. In a regular bread type pan like the one in the picture this took 1 hour and 10 minutes to bake. If you want to cook it in 45 minutes or less use a pie pan type pan.

How about the wonderful Broccoli Patties?
Grilled Broccoli Marinated with Srirachi Sauce
Or perhaps this Broccoli, Mushrooms and Rice Casserole?
This sounds delish! I can’t wait to try it. What size baking dish did you use?
Hi Michelle, I used a bread pan glass dish I have. You could also use an 8 x 8 pan.
We just finished a meal of the Brocolli Souffle, and my husband said he could have made a meal out of it, but we had beef with onion gravy with it. Sure will be making it again !!
This was delicious! I used an italian cheese blend. I wonder how this would taste over a bed of spaghetti?
I’m not sure, seems like it would work. If you try it let me know.
That sounds amazing. I have to be VERY careful about my carb. Intake.. but for my family. And I can sneak a few bites. (You know, for tasting reasons.) lol ?
Can I use ricotta instead of cottage cheese?
I think you could but it might change the texture some. If you decide to try it let me know.
Can I use homemade yogurt instead of cottage cheese?
I’ve never tried it with yogurt. I’m not a big yogurt lover so I am just not sure.
I made this some time ago and am “hankering” for some more. So easy and delicious.
one of my favorites too Carolynn. thanks for letting me know.
I have some leftover rotisserie chicken I think I will dice and add in(-: subbing flour for cornstarch so it’s gluten free
Could you make this is a slow cooker?
The ingredient list calls for not frozen broccoli but the recipe said to use frozen can you use either one?
I accidentally added 8 oz. of sour cream and thought I ruined it. I had to cook it a little longer but it turned out incredible!
Great! Glad you liked it.
A few slices of crispy bacon in there or shredded chicken, turkey or small sliced ham.. omg yum!
Do you thaw the frozen broccoli first
Can you assemble this the night before and bake it in the morning?
