12 ounces Cheddar cheese mild reduced-fat, shredded (about 3 cups)
1/2 cup flour
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
8 eggs large
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped broccoli thawed*
2 cups cottage cheese small curd lowfat
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1/4 cup parsley chopped fresh
Parsley sprigs (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with non-stick spray or generously butter bottom and sides of pan.

In a large bowl, toss Cheddar cheese, flour, onion, baking powder, and seasoning salt until cheese is evenly coated.

In another large bowl, beat eggs with a whisk until well blended. With a fork, stir in cheese-flour mixture, broccoli, cottage cheese, and melted butter until well mixed. Spread in baking dish. Sprinkle chopped parsley over top.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes until top is set and a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack 20 minutes.

To serve, cut into squares and arrange on a tray. Garnish with parsley sprigs if desired. Serve with small plates or paper napkins.

If making ahead, cool, cover, and refrigerate. Cut into squares. If desired, warm in a preheated 250° oven 15 minutes or place 10 to 12 squares at a time on a microwavable plate. Cover with waxed paper. Microwave at 50% power (350 watts) about 3 minutes until squares are heated through.


*Two packages (10 oz. each) frozen chopped spinach can be substituted. Thaw, drain well, and squeeze dry.
